Widely considered the “Greatest of All Time”, Muhammad Ali talked the talked and walked the walked with the best of them.
Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, Ali won Olympic gold in 1960 (per Wikipedia).
Ali’s career included triumphant wins against Sonny Liston and George Foreman as well as one of the greatest boxing trilogies in the history of the sport versus Joe Frazier.
Ali was a cultural icon and took a strong stance against the Vietnam War, which led to him being denied a boxing license between the ages of 25 and 29.
