Undoubtedly Mohammed Ali is one particular of the greatest boxers of all time. In no other time in United States Boxing History have we observed such a dominate figure in the Heavy Weight Boxing arena. Mohammed Ali captured the imagination of a generation as he floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. He was a man of agility, passion and self-confidence and it showed and normally flowed out of his persona to shock us and ruffle a couple of feathers too. Not to mention intimidate his opponents.
Some critics say he was not the greatest heavy weight boxer of all time but, I would challenge those critics to A.) Get in a ring and tell him that your self and B.) Name a improved candidate for the greatest boxer of all time.
In the course of his career he once mentioned "I am far better identified than Jesus Christ!" Oh taboo stated the Christian soldier but he had a point as he was honored and respected throughout the World of Islam and that accounts for much more than a single billion folks. And he was recognized throughout the United States and Europe as a force to be reckoned with if you were going to turn out to be a challenger. So he was recognized throughout both the Islamic Globe and the Christian Globe.
The funny thing was, he knew it, and he was in no way one to hold back his earned ego, and whilst boastful at occasions, at least he could back it up, in or out of the ring. In some regards, I suppose he helped bring the globe together, and though some at the time may well have been much less than impressed, no 1 can take away his unbelievable talent - "moving like a buttefly and stinging like a bee" was his battle cry - yes, he was all of that and far more, quite impressive indeed.
So, even if you did not appreciate such comments, he was correct he almost certainly was a lot more nicely identified that "Jesus Christ" an
