I’m
the Greatest!
Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. in
Louisville and is considered among the greatest heavyweights in the boxing
history. A controversial and polarizing figure during his early career, Ali is
today widely regarded for the skills he displayed in the ring plus the values
he exemplified outside of it: religious freedom, racial justice and the triumph
of principle over expedience. He is one of the most recognized sports
figures of the past 100 years, crowned "Sportsman of the
Century" by Sports Illustrated.
