Muhammad Ali was more than just a boxer. He was a cultural icon, a poet in the ring, and a champion for social justice.

A Dominant Force: Inside the ropes, Ali was a marvel. His "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" style revolutionized boxing. With lightning-fast footwork and powerful punches, he dominated the heavyweight division for over a decade. Defeating legends like Sonny Liston and George Foreman cemented his place as one of the greatest boxers ever.

Beyond the Ring: But Ali's impact extended far beyond the ring. He refused to be drafted into the Vietnam War, citing his Muslim faith and opposition to the conflict. This stance, though controversial, sparked conversations about race, religion, and war.

A Champion for All: Ali was a vocal advocate for civil rights. He embraced his African-American identity and inspired millions with his confidence and self-belief. His charisma and wit made him a global figure, bridging cultures and promoting understanding.

A Legacy of Greatness: Even after Parkinson's slowed him down, Ali remained a symbol of hope and perseverance. His legacy is one of athletic brilliance, social activism, and unwavering spirit. Muhammad Ali was, and forever will be, "The Greatest."

Rain lashed against the window, a melancholic soundtrack to the goodbye forming in my mind. It wasn't a sudden goodbye, not a jarring screech of brakes or a cruel twist of fate.
