The charisma that this man possessed has never been matched. I mean he befriended every opponent he ever fought. Plus, the taunting he would mostly do was just for pure entertainment and he knew this. A man beyond his years and a man way ahead of the times. This man will be forever remembered even in the year 3000.

Mike Tyson said everybody thinks he was so tough but Ali was willing to die for the sport that he loved and Mike wasn’t. Every time he talks about Ali he tears up and to me that reaffirmed what I already knew. Tyson only 2nd to Ali in my eyes. These 2 men changed boxing in many ways. S.I.H. King 👑

[@clodaghireuk3214]

Mike's end was raw. His last fight was such a surrender to the sport. I've heard loads of recent interviews, and the man's human insight is shocking. You just don't expect sensitivity and humility. You have to just love him. But no one compares to Ali.

Iam 55 years old and i feel exactly the same way about Muhammad Ali as you. Watching him as a child growing up gave me a different out look on the world around me, and a profound belief in self, that other wise would not have been there if Ali never existed. iam very proud to be apart of that time period as a child to watch Ali teach. He talk the talk and walked the walk like he knew he should. And he left a heck of a foot print.

Muhammad Ali has got to be the most admired man in America. He was so good at his skills, from boxing, to his uncanny poetry, to speaking his mind truthfully. What really pushed his ratings up, was his stand against the Vietnam war, which showed he was no coward to stand for what he believed in . Even towards the end of his life, when he had Parkinson, he showed no bitterness, and still kept a smile on his face A winner's attitude.. I sure hope his image is being used in schools as a role model because he makes a fine one.✌

If there's one thing that puts the fear of God in the powers that be, it's an African American with brains and not afraid to tell it like it is. The smartest thing Ali did, was realizing the time to go all the way, like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King and not backing down, hadn't arrived yet. He realized, he could benefit the fight for equality more, as a world champion. He did talked the talk and walked the walk

[@smoothcriminal4038]

You do know they hated Ali even before he refused to go to war and they only watched his fights just to see him lose he even has said so plenty of times. Ali was far from being the people’s champion and he didn’t care because he was a true champion and that’s all that matters

As a child into adolescent years, I was arrogantly ignorant towards the south. But later in my adult years, my frat brother convinced me of the impact, the south had on shaping the culture of music, business and acting. I'm quickly reminded of that while viewing this video. Ali's truly one of the best acapella rhymers, that inspired rapping in the 70's. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can't hit, what your eyes can't see," was one of the base bottom lines that rappers used for what is now known as bars, in hip hop.
