　　Muhammad Ali - The Greatest Boxer

　　Muhammad Ali is known as the fastest heavyweight boxer ever. He called himself "the greatest", and few who saw him fight would disagree. No fighter defeated him for the rest of the 1960s.

　　After he refused to be drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War, he was stripped of his heavyweight title in 1968.

　　Ali has devoted much of his life to humanitarian affairs. In 1998 Ali was honored with the United Nations Messenger of Peace Award.
