Ali babysat for us - we paid him in baloney sandwiches
Lawrence Montgomery Senior was next door neighbour to Cassius Clay, and hired him to babysit his three children.
When he told Lawrence he was going to be heavyweight champion of the world he didn't believe him.
But Lawrence says he enlightened the neighbourhood.
Ali would make the kids sit down on the couch when there was a boxing show on television.
All the payment he wanted was a baloney sandwich.
