HOW GREAT WAS ALI

"For this fight, I’ve wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning and thrown thunder in jail. You know I’m bad. Just last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick. I’m so fast, man, I can run through a hurricane and not get wet. I can drown the drink of water, and kill a dead tree". - Muhammad Ali

Because for hundreds of thousands of years to come, till the end of time, till mankind, the human race exists, there will be men and women from every colour, religion, ethnicity and country who will tell their grand children : " Once Upon A Time Lived A Man They Called THE GREATEST "

    Ali was a great boxer in his time...he brought speed and agility to a cumbersome division! His taunts created excitement in his bouts! He was dynamic in and out of the ring! As for being the greatest boxer of all time...i think the jury is still out on that one! There wer many other great boxers over the years...Frazier,Liston , Marciano to name a few!

    ali's never been knocked out... dominated the golden age of boxing!.. when ali was suspended.. for refusing to go to war in vietnam.. he was interviewed and asked if he missed boxing.. he replied no.. i belioeve boxing misses me..! .....hea...vyweight boxing is dead now

    Swoosh do u remember Mama Afrika during the prelude to Rumble in the Jungle? Is Mr Withers better than Miriam Makeba?

  17. HE HE. Ya.In Rumble in the Jungle Ali trained and ran in the streets with the people. Ali had a mouth. I was also a Prince Naseem Fan and currently I think Mayweather is afraid of Pacio.Watched Hangover and seen Mike Tyson knock out Fat Jesus. Tyson also was a beast. Azee do you remember our very own Gerri Coetsee. All in all ,even the Plaza Toppies agreed Ali was the Greatest. The video on the blog enhances this

    ‎"Allah is the Greatest. I'm just the greatest boxer." -As quoted in "Interview with Muhammad Ali" at SoundVision.com

    Response to George Plimpton, question at the end of an interview: "What would you like people to think about you when you've... gone?"
    "I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love, he took one tablespoon of patience, teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter, one pinch of concern, and then, he mix willlingness with happiness, he added lots of faith, and he stired it up well, then he spreads it over his span of a lifetime, and he served it to each and every deserving person he met." -Ali

  23. "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."

    Many of us never realize that the reason we cannot give our best under pressure situation is not lack of talent,it's not lack of hard work but it's our fear of failure
