I like this one because instead of showing his strength, it shows his humanity. Source: The Sun

There was an SI cover in the mid70s of posing in a ring, smiling and just glistening with sweat. Fantastic photo

"This is the legend of Muhammad Ali,
The greatest fighter that ever will be.
He talks a great deal and brags, indeed.
Of a powerful punch and blinding speed.
Ali fights great, he's got speed and endurance.
If you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.
Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right;
If he hits you once, you're asleep for the night!"

Just waiting for March 8, 1971 to actually arrive. To me it remains the most significant single sporting event ever. The hype and anticipation were just off the charts

His courage and conscience. It took incredible fortitude to do what he did in the 60s.
