Cannot say he is someone who resonates with me a great deal because I never watched him fight, but it is impossible to not know about the guy and his achievements. Like Bruce Lee he is a recognised figure of all round excellence, and one of a kind talent that will likely never be topped. Outside of the boxing ring though, the way he carried himself and his legendary trash talking is what will be his lasting legacy. As a friend said, no sportsman today shows the absolute confidence that Ali did, and no one seems to actually go out of the way to claim to be the best and prove it like Ali did. He is without a doubt one of the biggest cultural icons of all time.
