The 5 Greatest Athletes Ever - #1
#1 Muhammad Ali..."The Greatest"
With 56 wins, 37 by K.O., a gold medal, and only 5 losses.
His nickname fits, Muhammad Ali is "The Greatest"
No single man has ever played a bigger role in one sport than this man.I think my favorite thing about the man was his unmatched confidence and down right arrogance, why? Because he backed it up!
His historic quotes and moving speeches over the years have cemented his place in history beyond the boxing ring. Everyone knew Muhammad Ali was gonna run his mouth, but everyone also got to witness the greatest athlete ever float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
The following montage shows small glimpses into the career of a man who shocked the world. I searched You tube for hours looking for good montages, but honestly there are no good ones. I mean that in so much as none of them do justice to the legacy of Muhammad Ali.
WARNING: The following clips contain some "bad words" in some of the music that the editor selected. So hear that for what its worth, but honestly all things considered this montage is decent.
Unquestionably #1 is the one and only Muhammad Ali.
