Who Could It Be? He won The World Heavyweight Title in 1964. He’d done What no man had done before. He was champion of the world three times. He gave The American people so many thrills. Like the “Thriller from Manila,” He made The whole world stand still. His name was a freedom symbol. On Olympic day, He carried the torch, He kept walking, As his hand trembled. He has always had a strong desire; No one can put out his fire. He made boxing fun, And more than just a sport. He is a true role model, Whom the world showed a lot of support. He has been called “The greatest of all time.” He was Sports Illustrated’s 20th Century Man. Think a little harder if you can. He is a legend in the boxing Hall of Fame. Cassius Clay is no longer his name. Who could this gentleman be? They say he floats like a butterfly, And stings like a bee. This man has to be Muhammad Ali.
