What a life! World boxing champion and then beaten by Parkinson disease for 32 years.
"In 1967, Ali took the momentous decision of opposing the US war in Vietnam, a move that was widely criticised by his fellow Americans.
He refused to be drafted into the US military and was subsequently stripped of his world title and boxing licence. He would not fight again for nearly four years.
After his conviction for refusing the draft was overturned in 1971, Ali returned to the ring and fought in three of the most iconic contests in boxing history, helping restore his reputation with the public."
Ali's heavyweight boxing was against American injustice.
അലിയുടെ കനത്ത ഇടി അമേരിക്കൻ അനീതിക്കെതിരെയായിരുന്നു.
Just imagine! If Mohammad Ali had not been struck down by Parkinson's, perhaps, he might be a predecessor to Obama. Who knows!
