Boxing Bee

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Dancing and prancing, “Frazer can’t hit me”
   Frazer’s punch was a killer
   Smoking hot in Manila
Refutes the Rope a dope prophet Ali!!

For Contest; My Favorite Sports_ Limerick
For and in honor of Royal Trrevino

Muhammad was a bit of a poet himself. Perhaps he would have liked this one. Congratulations on winning with this entry.
