Inspired by the physical ability of this legend and what it must have been like to be on the receiving end of his wrath. I can only imagine that once he got to work on you it must have felt like two people were beating you into submission. Look up "rope-a-dope" to get an idea of his determination and genius.
Casius Clay became Mohammed Ali in 1964, more than just a conscious objector to the Vietnam war and a champion of racial pride for African Americans throughout the civil rights movement. He is still considered the greatest of all time. His career involved some historical boxing matches notably with Joe Frazer in The Fight of the Century, The Thriller in Manila and unforgettably The Rumble in the Jungle where his battle with George Foreman was watched by 1 billion people around the world.
