"Love is the net where hearts are caught like fish."
The greatest boxer in history. The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be and a great human being. He will always be the true Champion of the World. He will always be an idol of mine and one of my all time Heroes. He is a living legend. Forget about being called a national treasure, he is a world treasure." said one of his admirers on Facebook
His success as a boxer is widely respected, but Ali's greatest triumph lies in his legacy as a champion, leader, humanitarian, and artist. His work both inside and outside the ring truly makes Muhammad Ali "The Greatest of All Time."
As a boxer, Muhammad brought unprecedented speed and grace to his sport, while his charm and wit changed forever what the public expected a champion to be. His accomplishments in the ring are the stuff of legend – two fights with Sonny Liston, where he proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and proved he was; three epic wars with Joe Frazier; the stunning victory over George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle; and dethroning Leon Spinks to become heavyweight champion for an unprecedented third time. But there was always far more to Muhammad than what took place in a boxing ring.
