Don’t you know it, he’s the world’s Greatest: Ali!
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth ’’ – MUHAMMAD ALI.
So much has been written, read and said about the most hypnotic legend of all times….. THE ONE THE ONLY – MUHAMMAD ALI, born January 17, 1942.
I have been just one among the billions of admirers of this GREATEST ICON for as long as I can remember.
Yes, I have his books, his Documented videos & it makes me keep wanting to just catch a glimpse of the LEGEND up close & personal one day, just once in my lifetime
Muhammad Ali, what makes him so special- – –
- Is it the fact that he always did what he said he would.
- Is it the fact that he called the rounds, his way.
- Is it because he truly was the BEST
- or was it because he is forever the PEOPLE’s CHAMP.
He is all that and more. He kept saying, “I am the Greatest’’ and his very famous words “its not bragging , if you can back it up’’ always keep coming back when you hear any of his critic’s words…..
He was a man who dreamed, who predicted and accomplished every time he set his focus into. He is a man who is all about pure passion.
His impeccable skill, his heart of gold, a man, a legend and the one who made an impact which has been truly larger than life holds all our hearts together.
In Louisville, on October 29, 1960, ALI won his first professional fight he was then in his greater bouts duly crowned the heavyweight champion of the world and he reconfirmed his abilities when he knocked out Liston in the first round of their rematch in Lewiston, Maine on May 25, 1965.
One of my most fav bouts of his is: “The fight with FOREMAN, held in Zaire – The Rumble in the Jungle.’’ on October 30, 1974.
His talents and skills can be surpassed only by the power of his heart.
His love for the less fortunate, his strong beliefs on color and racism – where he said “Hating people because of their color is wrong, it does not matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong’’.
Muhammad Ali is a true legend and a hero forever who will till eternity inspire millions to pursue their dreams and make that IMPACT truly positive.
