To be honest she is just finishing up an autobiography, working on a reality show, and is in the middle of having a song released about her and Ali's live and she thinks this is a total waste of time. She claims it is nothing more then people trying to pass negative information about her and her life with Muhammad Ali..

It may be best for you to call Craig Hamilton and inform him that he most likely has been involved in a fraud.

So Mike are you say that up to a few years ago that Ali had other people signing his autographs. If so I think you should let Muhammad Ali enterprises, Online Authentics and PSA in present know this as they would have witnessed all of this going on.

The Steiner items are all 100% and witnessed. I am not sure of any other witnessed recent signings. I am unlike many others in this business learning new things everyday. That is one reason I have been working with Khalilah Ali and the real Ali family.

Mike, you have to realize how this looks from the outside... she's saying that 50% of all authenticated Ali autographs are fake?  But shes too busy to elaborate on that?  That's quite a claim to make considering PSA, JSA and others have been studying his autograph for many many years.

I have no desire to get involved in any lawsuits but I am interested in finding out the truth about what autographs are actually authentic.  If it's true that 50% of items authenticated by PSA, JSA and other reputable TPAs are actually fake, this would certainly shake up the collecting world and is information collectors must have.

I am sorry but there will be a shake up and I would not buy a Muhammad Ali autograph at this time unless it comes from Steiner Sports, Lou Scalia or someone that actually stood there and watch Muhammad Ali sign the autograph. Also The Collectors Guide to Muhammad Ali Autographs has some issues that need to be discussed.

Please understand that Khililah Ali is the only real wife of Muhammad Ali that was there in his glory years and through his struggles. She does not understand the memorabilia industry and she was never a part of this type of thing.

It is very hard for celebrities to understand the collectors mind and why grown up would want a signature unless it was someone you know or have met.

Mike could you tell us how/why she would have inside knowledge on recent signings not being done by him, if that's the case. Because I thought they were estranged so why would she be privy to such knowledge

If what you're saying is true that behind closed doors someone is signing for him I think that is information you should be sharing more info about

One of the most successful and influential women of our time? That is funny. I wouldn't go that far with the exaggeration Mike.

What exactly has she influenced and what are her individual successes? Google machine doesn't seem to pop them up as it does thousands of other women.

Another note, she spent 25+ years with Ali and doesn't understand the memorabilia industry? Ali has been one of the most sought after athletes for decades. She turn a blind eye to that like she has other things? Very hard to believe anyone close to him is naive to the industry.

I get more confused with everything he posts. She cares about autographs enough to form a partnership to authenticate them and claim 50% are forgeries, but she doesn't care about autographs, she doesn't understand the industry and thinks it's a waste of time. Which is it?

Yeah I got to call BS on it. She's just on a money grub. Outside being the girl Ali ran around on she is a nobody.

I'm curious--how does one get added to "a potential lawsuit"?

I guess you thought wrong, you may be reading to many blogs.

 Estranged meaning separated and living apart from one's spouse would be correct, but if you are saying there is no contact, communication you would be very wrong. There are 4 children together and there are grandchildren that very much in the life of Muhammad Ali.

There is also caregivers and family members with Ali now that Khililah has known for over 50 years.

They were best friends and no matter what you hear or what is said on blogs from jealous individuals they will always be family and best of friends.
