Were you a fan of Muhammad Ali when they were around or if you were around to witness their boxing career firsthand.

I was not around but his deep dive into the mechanics of the shuffle step / foward backwards and laterally was legend. it felt like their was a paralell between him and Sugar Ray Robinson in footwork / like their is a trainer or something that touched both of them.

I was in HS when Clay was in the Olympics. I followed his career. One reason he was so dominant for so long was that he could take punches and keep on fighting.

Sadly we all witnessed the end results of that.

This is an example of a fight that went on too long:

@robertsnjI know. I referred to him as Clay because I was speaking about a time before became a Muslim and changed his name.

I wasn't a fan, but he was a magnificent boxer in his prime. He just stayed in the ring too long.
@exexec 100% accurate
