Why Did Muhammad Ali And Frazer Fight
“Floats like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.”
-Muhammad Ali- fight against George Forman in 1974

Muhammad Ali is the greatest professional boxers and the world,
The reason I say this because Muhammad Ali won the heavyweight championship 3 times and also earned an Olympic gold Medal in 1999. Muhammad Ali was only 6’3 and from the years 1960 to 1963, Muhammad Ali record was 19-0, with 15 knockouts.
He is definitely one of my favorite boxers of all time. He defeated other boxers like

Ali refused to serve in the United
States Army during the Vietnam war because Ali said” War is against the teachings of the holy Koran. We don’t take part in Christian wars.” Ali also said

“why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people while so called negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs.”
-Muhammad Ali- explaining why he refuse to fight in the Vietnam.

Muhammad Ali was charged 5 years in prison from refusing introduction into the army and sad he wouldn’t be able to fight for at least 3 years all near the end of 1967.
But in 1970, Ali was allowed to fight again when the supreme court reversed his conviction. Ali changed the world not only did he struggle he still was the greatest of boxer of all times. One of my favorite movies that I love is Ali. Which is a 2001
