Muhammad Ali

Being the greatest athlete of all times is hard to achieve because there are so many great athletes.
To the author Adam Grant, thinks Muhammad Ali is the greatest athlete. Muhammad Ali brought a new
style of fighting to boxing. Boxing used to be beat the person in front of you down. But, Muhammad
was humorous, “handsome and charming.” One of Ali’s sayings “I’m pretty, I’m young, and I can’t
possibly be beat!” Muhammad Ali was a great boxer, he busted through his competition like it was
nothing. Ali changed his religion to Black Muslin and he also changed his name to Muhammad Ali
from Cassius Clay. Muhammad Ali was drafted to the war but he didn’t fight because he said it’s
against his religion to be in the war. Ali had to go to court and was found guilty of evading the draft.
Muhammad Ali spent three years in jail that he can’t get back and the three years he spent in jail
could of been used for boxing. He was 28 when found not guilty. The reports said that he
won’t be champion again and that it would be hard on him in the ring. Muhammad Ali actually did
the opposite and be become champion again. Every since then Ali’s career went up: he won the
biggest match off his life, was ‘’admitted”into the Olympic Hall of Fame , and  “admitted” into the
International Boxing Hall of Fame. Do y’all think that Muhammad Ali is the greatest athlete of all
time or do y’all think it is an athlete that tops Ali?

  2. I like how u started this book but you need to tell about his childhood like what did he do? What made him get into boxing?What were his parents like or did he even have both parents or just one and did he go to school where was he from. Did he like going to school or did he get into a lot of trouble. When he was younger did he ever think about being the champ when he started off boxes well I think you did good because I look up to him because he is one of the greatest boxers to ever walk this planet proud so keep it up your doing a great job.
