A Boxing Icon

At the turn of the millennium when Mohamed Ali, was adjudicated as the greatest sportsperson of the century, I was overjoyed. Perhaps die hard fans like me would have been the happiest than even Ali when the group of eminent sportspersons voted him as the greatest .Ali was a childhood hero to me, his supreme confidence, speed in the ring and courage of conviction in taking on the establishment endeared him to all. And I am happy that Ali is maintaining the same stature and decorum in life after his sporting days. Would feel lucky if I could meet him someday!
