Mohammed Ali a Great Prize Fighter

By Ernis Bevins


Undoubtedly Mohammed Ali is a single of the greatest boxers of all time. In no other time in United States Boxing History have we observed such a dominate figure in the Heavy Weight Boxing arena. Mohammed Ali captured the imagination of a generation as he floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. He was a man of agility, passion and self-confidence and it showed and usually flowed out of his persona to shock us and ruffle a couple of feathers too. Not to mention intimidate his opponents.

Some critics say he was not the greatest heavy weight boxer of all time however, I would challenge those critics to A.) Get in a ring and tell him that yourself and B.) Name a far better candidate for the greatest boxer of all time.

Through his career he once mentioned "I am superior known than Jesus Christ!" Oh taboo mentioned the Christian soldier yet he had a point as he was honored and respected throughout the World of Islam and that accounts for much more than one billion persons. And he was identified throughout the United States and Europe as a force to be reckoned with if you had been going to grow to be a challenger. So he was known throughout each the Islamic Globe and the Christian World.

The funny thing was, he knew it, and he was by no means one to hold back his earned ego, and while boastful at instances, at least he could back it up, in or out of the ring. In some regards, I suppose he helped bring the globe together, and though some at the time could possibly have been much less than impressed, no one particular can take away his incredible talent - "moving like a buttefly and stinging like a bee" was his battle cry - yes, he was all of that and more, rather impressive indeed.

So, even if you did not appreciate such comments, he was ideal he possibly was far more well recognized that "Jesus Christ" and even as an American I cringe at the truth, but we have to admit the reality.
