Muhhad Ali

Muhammad Ali

Is my biggest inspiration a man who not only fought in the ring but also for what he believed in and for others in America and around the world he was born in 1942 his original name was Cassius Clay jr. Starting out training in Column gym at only 12 years old his mindset was amazing, ever so serious in the ring but never so serious that he could tell a joke. His reactions were quick and nimble and he kept it simple. I am the Greatest! Is a quote known world by all great men to poor men that statement has shaken my soul and reminded me of my self worth it showed me that a title is only worth as much as the man behind it his style was so fast and fluid full of energy with a burning resolve that at the time no one could match even when beaten to a pulp . Mhammand Ali never stayed defeated; he would stand tall to his opponents, baffling them and wearing them down to the wire. Ali could only get so many wins through tough training. If you ask how many sits he did he would tell you that he doesn’t start counting until his stomach hurts. Although Ali is famous for being in the ring he was also involved in civil rights under the guidance of Malcolm X he soon left his slave name while in jail Cassius Clay which lead to him soon earning the name we all know he considered his old name a slave name shortly after Malcom x betrayed the nation of islam this sadly led to Malchom was killed . The draft of vietnam was one of Ali’s loses he did not pass the reading and writing test Ali would preach to all on how this was not his war to fight created by the white man as he had no personal quarrels with anyone from vietnam he had no reason to fight for a battle he did not believe in a war against his religion and that we should be fighting the war to give African American citizens the same rights as others and wanted no part in this so-called war. He was stripped of boxing license and his passport; it was not until 1971 where he could box again . his next fight by that time was against a man called Oscar Bonavena which was won by a TKO in Ali favor his next fight was Joe Fraizer it was Ali first big fight in years and was shown in 36 countries Ali fought hard but it ended in his first professional lost he challenge Joe to a run back and run with what he called the rope a dope tactic this would lead into his third fight where Joe Fraizer won Ali at point was thinking about retirement .Muhammad stayed with the nation of Islam out of fear if he said anything out of line that he would be killed also until he found Sunni islam and went on a journey for a number of years refreshing his mine on the true way of ilam and how he would defend his religion in the eyes of ignorant people who believed Muslim is a dangerous regilon . Muhammad ali would would claim the events of 911 the people who attacked the united states were not real muslims but rascial extemist dawning a persona twisting and warping the true values of islam . The fact that this happened is insane. He joined at first, not sure of his place in finding out the truth of a culture considered evil for a very long time. mahamaad has fought so many battles in the ring and real life he lived as a true fighter from being involved in civil rights and being against the vietnam war saying he will not be a pawn in this battle created by the establishment despite having a loud mouth he has always backed it up with a smile on his face Ali greatest battle was against something not even he was ready for Parkinson's he halted and effected his motor skills and speech greatly to point where he could no longer box let alone live life the same way any more he died on June 3 2016 i personal believe to call him any but amazing would be undermining his performance to show such physical and social talents is rare a great boxer and speaker Ali mouth has gotten him in and out of fights he took such a big hit from not wanting to foto war alone so many said he was an embarrassment/traitor to the country oddly enough jail was the least of his problem Ali fought like hell to get his boxing license and even harder to defend his religious belief from the edia Ali faith was question many times as a cults back in day and is still considered one til this day. No matter how hard life hits Ali he never stand Muhmmad fought, yelled and never feared his obstacles such feats as this is why Muhmmad Ali is the greatest.
