He's World Renowned

He was born to be good looking and have a mouth like no other Tenacity was his strategy he was a technician in the ring, So he’d float like a butterfly and sting, sting, sting While his opponents thought it was amazing I know who is the greatest but Ali was certainly a humanist On earth he’s now vacant but there will never be an Ali replacement A hero he’ll be remembered as because he was admired for his courage, Outstanding achievements and noble qualities He wasn’t known for his modesty but he spoke out against inequality There’s no denying, he had a prodigious personality So I’ll end with one of his quotes “Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you’re going to be right”

The ring is the loneliest place in all of the whole wide world. There is no hiding...No respite...No escape. It is where a man finds questions he otherwise might not think to ask. Muhammad Ali...A credit to his race - The human race! Heaven is blessed tonight - For the greatest amongst us has returned home!! God bless and protect you...Muhammad Ali. John Harold Fleming.
