[1] Can you ever picture boxing without Muhammad Ali? It would be hard to image. What Muhammad Ali did for boxing hasn't and probably will never be accomplished by any other boxer; this was an athlete that had a big impact on the sport of boxing and with that impact it made boxing what it is today. There will be no other boxing that will have as much impact on the sport of boxing then Ali; because he was one of a kind and he reached so much and accomplish big.
Ali is the Michael Jordan of boxing and more, because when it comes to the most successful athletes in sports history Muhammad Ali's name has to be there. Going through the hard times and still being able to achieve so much is a great story. Ali had to go through a lot of tough things in his life, and because of that it made him the man he is today.
It's great when fans give respect where it's do and honoring and studying Muhammad Ali is a great thing to do. It will show that your interested and you want to learn what he meant to sports. Accomplishing a lot and still fighting for his rights, that success brings joy to people that are struggling that have dreams like Muhammad Ali.
Being an African-American and seeing what Muhammad Ali has done with his life was so helpful to me and it made me feel like I can accomplish the dreams that I have. Ali was a father to others who didn't have a father, he was a role model to people all across the world and he did so much for them, and that makes him more then an icon, more then a role model,and more then boxing.
When you look back on sports there weren't many athletes that meant more to their sport than Muhammad Ali. Before Ali it was baseball's Jackie Robinson and maybe a few others. Jackie Robinson was a baseball player that played in the Negro League before becoming the first African-American to play major league baseball. Jackie went through hard-times and it's something Muhammad Ali will never experience, but the important thing is he understands.
Living a life like Muhammad Ali's would be a difficult thing to do, even though Jackie Robinson life was harder. Muhammad Ali had to deal with racism because of the color of his skin and that made things hard for him. Dealing with those problems was difficult for him to go through, but being a strong person made him achieve a successful career.
Muhammad Ali career in boxing and his life will be a great message to children across the world, because a lot of these young children have dreams but there growing up in a negative way and that's how dreams get crush and little children give up on achieving there goals because of there life style. When children study Muhammad Ali career and see what he went through, then they will believe that they have been put on this earth for a reason and they can accomplish as much as Muhammad Ali. When people see an African-American athlete that has been criticize because of his race, and put in jail because of what he believes in, and then look at what he has become is something special.
It's important for children to know that they can be whatever they put there mind to and it only takes a strong person inside to do that. Every child on earth has a bright future head of them, but it's up to them to achieve there goals. Anybody can say they want to be something in life, but it takes a strong person to get through the hard times and believe in yourself. Muhammad Ali has done it and if he did then any other person can do the same.
