As George Foreman told the BBC on 6 June, 2016, "Boxing was too small for Muhammad Ali. He was The Greatest. He was the greatest fighter. He was the greatest poet. He was the greatest giver. And he put something beautiful on the earth".

Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, a former World Heavyweight Champion himself, had a hard time getting Ali to go to a neutral corner. Ali initially stood over his fallen opponent, gesturing and yelling at him, "Get up and fight, sucker!" The moment was captured by ringside photographer Neil Leifer in what became one of the most iconic images in sport, chosen as the cover of the Sports Illustrated special issue, "The Century's Greatest Sports Photos." Ali then began prancing around the ring with his arms raised in victory.
He possessed blinding speed, incredible agility and a charisma that took boxing to its most popular heights. By the end of his career he would simply be known as...
