Roseland neighbor, Ernie Terrell was a gentleman to the backbone. A towering 6-foot-6 with an 82-inch reach, Mr. Terrell, a longtime Roseland resident, “at the time was the tallest heavyweight champion in history,” said Mike Joyce, boxing coach at Leo High School and a son-in-law of Ali. After his boxing career, Mr. Terrell worked as a fight promoter, ran twice for 34th ward alderman, losing both times, and founded a janitorial company that employed 100 people, according to Joyce and James Kitchen, a former boxing champ with Chicago’s Catholic Youth Organization.
