Player Notes: Ali was named the ‘Athlete of the 20th Century’ by multiple media outlets including Sports Illustrated, the BBC and GC. He became a global icon for his big personality, his unrivaled heavyweight boxing career, and his ability to influence a generation by standing up for causes that he believed it. He was the most quoted athlete of all time, and his showmanship in the ring was imitated by boxing fans of all ages for a generation. He was a 3x World Heavyweight Champion, and an Olympic gold medalist famous for his speed, wit, and ‘rope-a-dope’ technique. His most famous moments include shocking Sonny Liston to win his first title in 1964, his defeat of George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974 and winning the Thrilla in Manila against Joe Frazier in 1975. In addition, Ali, who was ravaged by Parkinson’s disease, was the surprise athlete who lit the torch for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, marking arguably the most famous torch lighting in Olympic History. ‘Floats like a Butterfly, Stings Like a Bee’, He was the Greatest, and there will never be another Muhammad Ali.
