The “Greatest” Muhammad Ali has died. You either hated or loved him but he was the “Greatest” heavyweight boxer ever.
His boxing style was like no other, ability to dodge blows while keeping his hands down and quick feet like no other. So many things to remember about him, The Ali Shuffle, Rope A Dope, Float Like A Butterfly Sting Like a Bee, I am the Greatest, trash talking, draft dodger and convert to Islam, first athlete to speak out on social issues.
And all of this happened in a time without cable TV or big screens and color TV was beyond the means of most people. So glad I lived during this time to see it as it happened live.
RIP Champ.
