Happy Birthday To The Greatest!
Muhammad Ali turned 70 years young today. Happy birthday champ!
I have Ali as the #1 best heavyweight champion that has lived thus far. Here’s my reason why.
Ali fought in the golden era of the heavyweight division. Fighting everyone from Archie Moore,Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Ron Lyle, Ernie Shavers, Leon Spinks, Ali fought them all.
Ali’s true greatness may never be truly defined since he was robbed of 2.5 years of his career due to not fighting in Vietnam. Ali was the first 3 time Heavyweight Champion.
Ali’s speed, movement, toughness, ring smarts, mouth, and self belief were what made him special. More so though the many top fighters he fought and dominated.
His reflexes were beyond quick. He would often make fighters angry by fighting in the pocket and then dance away out of danger before they could get off. His ring generalship is legendary. Muhammad Ali was known to admire and idolize Sugar Ray Robinson and calling him “The King” ” The Master” “His Idol” Ali often looked like a heavyweight version of Sugar Ray Robinson with the way he fought. Just like his idol, nobody did it like Ali.
Now watch the “Greatest at his best!
