PERSON HE MET.” - Muhammad Ali

Final thoughts
So there is quite a case to be made that Muhammad Ali is the greatest. He not only triumphed in the boxing ring, but also promoted peace and racial equality, preached about the positivity of Islam, and served as an inspiration for many with Parkinson's disease and other debilitating conditions.
As recently as 2014 Ali has made public appearances, even though he has all but lost the ability to speak. As he said in his autobiography, "The Soul of a Butterfly", co-written with daughter Hana Yasmeen, "There are thousands of people around the world diagnosed with Parkinson's and other illnesses every day.
I know that a lot of them look up to me for guidance; they count on me to be strong. Knowing this gives me some of the strength I need to keep going. It is one of the reasons I continue traveling, and making appearances around the world."
