-- THIS IS A SECOND-HAND BOOK--
“I AM THE GREATEST," proclaimed the young fighter from Louisville. Most boxing fans criticised this upstart and few believed he had the skills to justify such a statement. He proved them so very wrong on so many levels. Muhammad Ali became the greatest heavyweight ever to step into a boxing ring and a compelling presence outside of it - the most recognised man on the planet. Muhammad Ali - The Greatest charts the fascinating story of an extraordinary man through the words of not just Ali himself, but of those who were lucky enough to bear witness to the legend that was unfolding in front of them. The story covers:
HIS UPBRINGING IN KENTUCKY
HIS AMATEUR CAREER AND 1960 OLYMPIC SUCCESS
THE EARLY PROFESSIONAL BOUTS AND WORLD TITLE FIGHTS WITH SONNY LISTON
HIS MUSLIM CONVERSION AND THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING HIS REFUSAL TO JOIN THE US ARMY
THE COMEBACK FIGHTS, INCLUDING "THE RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE"
AND
"THE THRILLA IN MANILA"
HIS RETIREMENT, FIGHT WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND LIFE OUTSIDE THE RING
