In This Corner - Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali
(Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.)
(the "Louisville Lip")
Record 56-5 (37 KO)

Clay/Ali was one of the smoothest and most natural boxers of all time; His hands were lightning fast and he was practically impossible to hit cleanly during his early career; Later, when he was heavier and stronger, he proved he could still prevail; Clay/Ali won the Heavyweight Championship three times

As a boxer, he made mistakes but with his unbelievable speed was able to still win, primarily with jabs and combinations which took their toll; He could judge distances within an inch, was game, had a great chin and could take punishment

When he first hit the scene, he called himself "The Greatest" and people scoffed; Today, the majority of boxing fans consider him to be "The Greatest"

Herb Goldman ranked Clay/Ali as the #1 All-Time Heavyweight; Clay/Ali was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990

@Blake472 What a lot of folks don't realize is that Cassius Clay was dyslexic. He probably hasn't ever read the Quran himself, Sad.

Tunney was better than Dempsey. Ali said he was the best of the old skool because he understood the sweet science
