What makes Muhammad ali a role model?

Answer 1

Muhammad Ali was born with the name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942. He is a three time World Heavyweight Champion, and many boxing historians consider him to be the best heavyweight champion ever. When Ali was just an amateur, he won a gold medal when he was in the light heavyweight division while participating in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. After Ali turned professional, he became the very first boxer to win the lineal heavyweight championship on three occasions.

After joining the Nation of Islam in 1964, Ali changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali. Later in 1975, Ali converted to Sunni Islam. When Ali was drafted into the U.S. Military in 1967, he refused because of his opposition to the Vietnam War and his religious beliefs. He was found guilty of draft evasion and was arrested. He was stripped of his title from boxing and his license to box was suspended. He did not go to jail, but he was unable to fight again for almost four years while his appeal continued until it went to the U.S. Supreme Court and was successful.

Muhammad Ali's religious beliefs brought about much controversy. In 1964, Ali stated that he was a part of the Nation of Islam. Being a part of the group made him target of criticism and controversy. He appeared with Elijah Muhammad, Nation of Islam leader. He supported separatism and disagreed with integration and interracial marriage. He felt that at the time the white man was the devil and were not righteous. Later he converted to the Sunni branch of Islam.

Ali has been nicknamed the "Greatest." He has been involved in a number of historic boxing matches. He had three historic boxing matches with Joe Frazier, one of his major rivals at the time, as well as one with George Foreman. In the match with Foreman, Ali won with a knockout in order to win the heavyweight title again. In his career, he had only five losses, four of which were decisions, and one by retirement. He had no draws, but he did have 56 wins. Thirty-seven of those wins were through knockouts, and nineteen were from decisions. He had a famous quote that he used to describe his boxing style, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." He is also well known for his rope a dope strategy, which is one in which a boxer assumes a protected stance, such as Ali's, in which he lies against the ropes and lets his opponent hit him, hoping that the opponent will become tired and make mistakes so that he can counterattack. Ali was also famous for his trash talking, which he did both on television and in person before the match, sometimes with rhymes. Muhammad Ali became a cultural icon.

Later in his lifetime, Muhammad Ali developed Parkinson's Disease, which is due to some of the injuries he received because of his career. Those who have had severe head trauma are more likely to develop Parkinson's Disease. Ali continues to be an active figure in the public. Ali has received a Spirit of America Award which called him the most recognized of Americans in the world. He also was the one responsible for lighting the flame at the 1996 Summer Olympics that took place in Atlanta, Georgia. Ali was voted the Sports Personality of the Century Award by the BBC. In 2001, a film, Ali, was created. It is a biographical film and starred Will Smith as Ali. On January 8, 2005, President George W. Bush awarded him with the Presidential Citizens Medal. He was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom on November 9, 2005. He was also given the Otto Hahn Peace Medal in Gold of the United Nations Association of Germany from Berlin for his work in support of the Civil Rights Movement. Following his retirement from boxing, Muhammad Ali has been involved in humanitarian work around the world, and this includes an estimated 22 million meals provided to feed the hungry. Ali travels around 200 days a year at minimum, and lends his name to support relief from poverty and hunger, support education, and promote adoption.

Muhammad Ali has been married four different times and has two sons and seven daughters. His first wife, Sonji Roi, was a cocktail waitress. They knew one another about a month before marrying on August 14, 1964. She objected to some of his Muslim customs, including the dress expectations for women. They were divorced on January 10, 1966. On November 19, 1986, Muhammad Ali married Yolanda Ali. They had been friends for many years. Together, they have one adopted son, Asaad Amin. Muhammad Ali also has two other daughters from extramarital relationships, Miya and Khaliah.
