Ali became the first man to win the heavyweight title three times (and is still the only 3 time linear heavyweight champion).

He refused to be drafted to go to Viet Nam.

He refused to close his mouth.

He was the fastest heavyweight ever, and one of the greatest pound for pound fighters ever.

Muhammad Ali first rose to fame by becoming the world heavyweight boxing championship in 1964. At the time he was known as Cassius Clay, and defeated Sonny Liston. This made him the youngest boxer to take the title from a reigning champion. Clay joined the Nation of Islam shortly after and changed his name to Muhammad Ali.
