Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali, the former heavyweight champion, is one of the most recognized and beloved sports figures in the world. In the ring, his powerful fists and lightning-quick feet won him bout after bout. Outside the ring, he earned a reputation as a good-natured loudmouth who liked to make up poems describing how he planned to beat his next opponent. Today, Muhammad Ali continues to support charitable causes and peace efforts even as he fights a new opponent - a debilitating illness. He may no longer "float like a butterfly" or "sting like a bee," but to sports lovers everywhere he is still the Greatest.Stout, Glenn is the author of 'Muhammad Ali', published 2005 under ISBN 9780316108430 and ISBN 031610843X.
