First to win heavyweight championship of the world three times. Reinvented the way heavyweights were supposed to fight, deploying a speed and athleticism that was previously unheard of.

a lot of things made Ali famous. If you watch a lot of his fights you might think nothing of it. But remember that the fight you are watching is around 40-50 years old.
