I want to read this book cause I am interested in this book and cause I am going boxing also be is .I here he fought for us and have us💵💵

This seems pretty cool!

I decided to read this book because it is based on someones life as a boxer and how it impacted others. I thought this was a good book because it shows that you can be whatever you want to be if you put your mind to it.

Its about from his childhood in the segregated south to his current fight with parkinsons disease Ali never backed down.So its talk about how was acting in his life and how he became great in the ring with other defenders and how he started fom bottom and how he made his way to the top.

I decided to read this book because I'm a fan of greatness.An when I know and see greatness I flock to it especially if it's beyond their field.An that's Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay).

This book is about Muhammad Ali.Muhammad was born in the south he is the greatest boxer in his prime.Muhammad Ali is Olympic gold medalist and the heavyweight champion.This book would be good if like Muhammad and what to learn about him.

A very good book. Deep and inspiring
