muhammad ali

"i figured if i said it enough, i would convince the world that i really was the greatest."
muhammad ali was originally known as cassius clay before he changed his name, after he won his first heavywieght championchip. he was a 3 time heavy weight champion, and in my head the greatest boxer ever to play the sport. he would mess with your head, constantly tellin you that you were ugly, and predicting what round he was knock you out in. he was quick on his feet and had some of the fastest hands. you could land a big blow on him, but by the time you hit him he would have already hit you 3 times. he most famous line is "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." if you havnt read the book the "greatest: muhammad ali", then you should, its a really good book. just finished it last night.
