Tribute to The Legend

It is said Pride comes before a fall. The life of Muhammed Ali proved otherwise. He was Fast. He was Strong. He was Great. And he was Proud.

Defeated Sonny Liston at 22 years old, a man thought never to be beaten and declared himself the greatest boxer alive, a title that stayed with him till his death today.

He refused to go to war at Vietnam because of his religious belief which cost him his heavy weight champion and 5 years of his life. Respect!

He stood his ground, and in 1971 the united states overturned his conviction to fight. He returned to the ring to reclaim his title and lost to Joe Frazier in the fifteenth round in a match dubbed "the greatest fight of the century". The greatest lost. His first professional loss!. He fought George foreman, the man who defeated Joe Frazier in 2 rounds. Ali won and he said and I quote " I told you all of my critics that I am the greatest"

Ali won Joe Frazier in the fourteenth round.

"When you say the greatest of all time is in the room, everyone knows who you mean" said by President George bush while presenting himself the highest civilian honor of United States.

If Muhammad Ali was proud, why didn't he fall. Well he fell to the Parkinson's disease today at 74 and it wasn't because he was proud.

Muhammad Ali is the greatest fighter of all time, a champion in the ring, a champion of civil rights. He was more than boxing.

RIP Muhammad Ali.
(56 Victories, 5 defeats)
