THE STORY OF MUHAMMAD ALI

- Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.; January 17, 1942) is an American former professional boxer, philanthropist and social activist. Considered a cultural icon, Ali has both been idolized and vilified.
Originally known as Cassius Clay, Ali changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam in 1964, subsequently converting to Sunni Islam in 1975, and more recently practicing Sufism.In 1967, three years after Ali had won the World Heavyweight Championship, he was publicly vilified for his refusal to be conscripted into the U.S. military, based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War. Ali stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong... No Viet Cong ever called me nigger" -- one of the more telling remarks of the era.
Widespread protests against the Vietnam War had not yet begun, but with that one phrase, Ali articulated the reason to oppose the war for a generation of young Americans, and his words served as a touchstone for the racial and antiwar upheavals that would rock the 1960s. Ali's example inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. -- who had been reluctant to alienate the Johnson Administration and its support of the civil rights agenda -- to voice his own opposition to the war for the first time.
Ali was eventually arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges; he was stripped of his boxing title, and his boxing license was suspended. He was not imprisoned, but did not fight again for nearly four years while his appeal worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it was eventually successful.
Ali would go on to become the first and only three-time lineal World Heavyweight Champion.
Nicknamed "The Greatest," Ali was involved in several historic boxing matches. Notable among these were three with rival Joe Frazier, which are considered among the greatest in boxing history, and one with George Foreman, where he finally regained his stripped titles seven years later. Ali was well known for his unorthodox fighting style, which he described as "float[ing] like a butterfly, sting[ing] like a bee", and employing techniques such as the Ali Shuffle and the rope-a-dope. Ali brought beauty and grace to the most uncompromising of sports and through the wonderful excesses of skill and character, he became the most famous athlete in the world. He was also known for his pre-match hype, where he would "trash talk" opponents, often with rhymes.
Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee there can't be anyone greater than Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali is dead now...he died more than 10 years ago cuz now is 2039. but stil he is in the History in the box :)
It just received it 3rd dislike from me...
Ali was so disrespectful to blacks. The things he said about Joe Frazier and his family, just to promote his self. divide a country amongst itself with the George Foreman fight. everything he stood for was selfish but made to seem as if he gave a Damn. Now it's not to take away any good he may have done but in my eyes he was no hero. Maybe when I was a child he was my hero but as I research Mr. Ali hero he is not. Now I don't know why the other 2 have given dislike
Montreal Manokey Ali later expressed regret and remorse for that. They were friends til Smokin Joe Passed away [Rest in Power Joe Fraizer]. I understand what you mean, but they were complex men and in difficult times.
