One a year they trot him out for some benefit appearance. The deterioration is evident.
It seems Ali gets out more than you might think. According to this article he was in France sometime this year and visited Michael Schumacher in the hospital.
Quote:"One day, some months into this business, Muhammad Ali came to see him at the hospital," recalled Hamlyn.
"Ali, who was pretty ill already by then with Parkinson's disease, went up to the end of Michael's bed, said words to the effect of 'Hello champ' and held out his fist.
"Michael's eyes not only opened but focused on him, and this enormous smile appeared across his face as he realized who it was who had come to see him -- and it was at that point that I knew that things went in, got processed and could come out.
"It was at that point that you know that people have the capacity to relearn, and to recover.
"Now, in the world of motor racing I've no idea who Muhammad Ali is -- unless it's Michael Schumacher."
