    1. Fool....Nobody cares about you and what sport you're a big fan of you narcisssist....Ali was larger than boxing....it was his charisma, his humane and profound essence, and most especially his fight for justice outside the boxing ring that made him the greatest.....Go and search for his speech to a Harvard graduating class on youtube and educate yourself by his words of wisdom and intelligience.
