I seen him even draw sketches for women on their purses of him and fraiser fighting. His signature was still very readable but when he signed it was like he was moving in super slow motion to make sure you got a perfect autograph. To say he couldnt sign his name would be a false statement. He made sure everyone had his autograph before he stopped. That was the 3 times or so I met him so I imagine he was like that with everyone.

Yes. Ali was at many youth tournaments with his son and signed readily. My wife and daughter got to meet him in his RV about 15 years ago and he signed several sports illustrated mags. Between innings he would sign or pose for pics. Very kind man to all. If he was not feeling well he would go to his RV and rest.
