Muhammad Ali's Life

 

INTRODUCTION

      Muhammad Ali The People's Champion is won of the greatest idols and boxers of all time. His actions were incredible he has the heart of a lion and gets what ever he wants. Today I'm going to tell you all there is to know about Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali was born on January 17,1942 in Louisville,Kentucky. Muhammad was raised in an African American middle-class family. He met an officer and told him that he saw a thief and was going to beat him up. The officer told him them to start boxing and then Muhammad boxed because of the officer Joe.E.Martin. This is where the true legend begins. His amatuer record for boxing was 100 wins and 5 losses. He also won the lightweight championship in the 1960 Summer Olympic games. WOW AMAZING! But he through away one of his most precious medals bacause he wasn't given service in a white restaurant and got into fights with some white people. Ever since, he was angry and started fighting for civil rights but didn't let it affect his boxing. Muhammad made a huge upset in 1964 when he won against Sonny Liston. In his profecional career he made an outstanding record of 56 wins 37 tko's and 5 losses. Muhammad was considered one of the greatest boxers of all time if not the greatest of all time. Although, he was a great boxer his accomplishments are exceeding even outside of the ring. Muhammad protested against descrimanation of black people. He also was ressisted to be part of the military and was striped of his belt. Even though, he was ressisting to be part of the US military and fight in the Vietnam War, you can't force him to do what he doesn't want to do and it's unfair to no longer put him as the heavyweight champion. Muhammad had a nice family. He married Belinda Boyd and together they made four children Maryun,the twins Jamilah and Rasheda, and Muhammad Ali Jr. His dad paints billboards and signs. Muhammad's mom was a household domestic. His brother is Cassius Marcella Sr. is a descendent of a pre- Civil War era American slavesand is of primarily African-American, with Irish and English ancestry. Muhammad Ali was able to win against Linston in 1964 to win championship, has a record of 56 wins 37 tko's and 5 losses. He also fought for his civil rights. Muhammad also ressisted to fight for America in the Vietnam War.

FAMOUS QUOTES

                                One of Muhammad Ali's famous quote is ''He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.'' This means that if you don't take risks in life you will accomplish noting. So if your afraid to fail you will succeed in nothing. I think that this quote was important because he's giving you advice that is essential to becoming who you want to be. If you can't take risks you will never be the person you dreamed of being. Another one of his famous quote is '' Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.'' This means that if you want to stay here on Earth you have to be nice to others. I think that this quote teaches a valuable lesson because he is trying to create world peace and teach people to be nice to other people. He is saying that you were put on this Earth and you should pay the price by treating others. The last quote is ''It isn't the mountain ahead to climb that wears you out; it's the pebble in your shoe that is.'' I think this demonstrates that it isn't anybody else or obstacle that is holding you down it's yourself. It's all mind over matter. Anything is possible and you can accomplish anything only if you put your mind to it. I think this quote is inspiring because it always pushes me to do my best no matter what happens.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND IMPACT

                                   As said in the first paragraph in the introduction Muhhamad Ali protested against discrimination of the blacks. This impacted the world because one of the reasons black people have there rights is because of Muhammad. He did everything of his power and made famous quotes to support that discrimination of African-Americans. Another one of his accomplishments was he beat Liston in 1964 to win the heavyweight championship. This affected the world because it inspired many people that you can do anything and showed people that black people can do anything white people can do. The last accomplishment is that he denied to be part of US army in the Vietnam War. This made him striped off his championship and suspended. This made white people mistreat people more and not like Muhammad Ali.

CONCLUSION
