Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was born January 17, 1942, just a few miles up the road in Louisville, KY. He began training as a amateur boxer at the age of 12, and at age 18, he won a gold medal in the Light-Heavyweight division at the 1960 Olympic games in Rome.
Later that year Clay turned professional, and within 4 years, at age 22, he won the WBA, WBC, and lineal heavyweight titles from Sonny Liston.
Converting to Islam, he changed what he called his ''slave name'' to Muhammad Ali. He went on to become one of the most celebrated, as well as controversial figures in sports history.
He remains the only 3-time lineal heavyweight champion, having won the title in 1964, 1974, and 1978. He is the only boxer to be named The Ring magazine ''Fighter of the Year'' 6 times. He was ranked as the greatest athlete of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated, and the sports personality of the century by the BBC. Nicknamed ''The Greatest,'' a tag he gave himself, he was involved in some of the most historic matches in boxing history: ''The Fight of the Century,'' ''Super Fight II,'' the ''Thrilla in Manilla'' versus Joe Frazier, and ''The Rumble in the Jungle'' versus George Foreman.
In 2015, Time Magazine listed its own compilation of the greatest athletes per sport.
Soccer: Pele
Baseball: Babe Ruth
Tennis: Roger Federer
Football: Jerry Rice
Swimming: Michael Phelps
Track and Field: Usain Bolt
Hockey: Wayne Gretzky

While I would disagree with many of that list of greats, I submit unto you that there is ONE who stands head and shoulders ...
