Ali ran rings around every other heavyweight contender, back when boxing was a much bigger sport than it is no. I was 10 years old in March of 1971 when Muhammad Ali faced Joe Frazier in what was billed as the fight of the century. Ali had been stripped of his title in 1967 and barred from fighting in the United States. The case Clay v. United States, captioned under his birth name, Cassius Clay, because the world at large wasn’t yet ready to recognize his chosen name, was working its way up to the Supreme Court.

Muhammad Ali is a retired American boxer . Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. on January 17th, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. His father painted billboards signs and his mother stayed at home to raised Cassius and his younger brother. Ali became interested in boxing at the age of 12, after his bike was stolen and he flew into a wild rage at the scene of the crime. The police officer on the scene saw Clay's anger and advised him to channel it into boxing. His biggest achievement to date was winning the light heavyweight gold medal at the 1960 Olympics. His amateur record was 100 wins and 5 losses.
