Is that all you got? Now, >> not if I see you first. >> Round nine, Madison Square Garden, March 8th, 1971. Muhammad Ali had Joe Frasier exactly where he wanted him. The left hook was already in motion. The same punch that had knocked out dozens of opponents. The same devastating blow that had…

The construction worker’s hands were shaking as he signed the confidentiality agreement. What Muhammad Ali was asking him to build would stay hidden for the next decade.

Chicago, Illinois. December 25th, 1972. Christmas morning. 6:30 in the morning. The streets were empty, covered in fresh snow that had fallen overnight. Most of the city was still asleep.
