Muhammad Ali first came into the public eye when, as Cassius Clay, he won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Rome in 1960. He would become the greatest boxer the world has ever seen & a political firebrand who would come to symbolize a critical turning point in the history of America. In 1964 he stunned the boxing community with his defeat of Sonny Liston, the heavyweight champion, to take the title for the first time. Only those closest to Clay knew that he had the speed & the ability to outfox even the greatest punch in the history of boxing, which is precisely what he did. Throughout his extraordinary career, his influence on the world of boxing changed the sport forever.
