NAMES IN THE NEWS : Ali Promotes ‘Greatest’ Cologne

DALLAS — Former heavyweight boxing champ Muhammad Ali believes he can make it to the top again--but this time he won’t be throwing jabs and counterpunches.

Rather, Ali is traveling to promote a new cologne that bears his name.

“It’s the greatest,” he said in an appearance here.

The 47-year-old Ali, who was known as much for his wagging tongue as his flying fists in his younger days, is pulling no punches.

“I predict I’ll sell more cologne than anyone else in the world,” he said Monday in an appearance at a department store. “Women love it. Makes ‘em chase men they don’t even know.”
