Muhammad Ali is known for many  accomplishments that he succesed in during his career. People deeply admired him, mostly because they were very suprised in the way he fought even during a young age.

        Muhammad Ali was born with a different name but, since his career kicked off to a good start and people enjoying the way he fought the gave him the nickname of Muhammad Ali. His real birth name was Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. The real reason why his name was changed is because he joined a Nation of Islam during the year of 1964. Even while he was a child his dream was to be a heavywieght champion. He was the type of person that trys to accomplish his dream, he kept tryinq till he finally succesed. all children should follow the way he did, by always trying your hardest and do not stop till you finally succesed the way that he did in life.

          Muhammad Ali was born at Louisville, Kentucky where he lived with his mother and father. His father had the same name as him which was Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr. His mothers name was Odessa Grady Clay. Muhammad Ali was born on January 17, 1942. his father worked as a painter for billboards, as his   During his time in the 1960  most mothers worked as a Household Domestic including his mother. Muhammad Ali had his career coming since he was young. As he became older in his teens and twenties he had a young career begining, for example in his young career he attened the olympics of 1960 summer.

    In the Summer Olympics he was in the light heavywieght division. His first coach for his boxing career when he was only twelve years old was Joe E. Martin. Mr. Martin helped Muhammad Ali’s dream come true by puting him with one of the best trainers in his town and he was an African American named, Fred Stoner, this man worked at the his town’s local community center. With Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) litening to the guidence of his young trainer Mr. Stoner he help Cassius Clay Jr. to get six Kentucky Golden Gloves titles in his young career before his real boxing career began, he was one of the best athletic young boxer there was in his time, as well as he is now. He also won twice a National Golden Glove Titles, as well as the light heavywieght title he won during the 1960 Summer Olympics.

          Muhammad Ali kept on following his dream, so in his hometown he was put to box. After some of his matches people started to realize how good his boxing was, not just his wins but his losts as well, even if he had lost a match he still showed that he put effort into the matches that he had and he would not give up, he would fight all the way till the end. So, from there his career started to kick of and he became a very sussecsful boxer, because of his training when he was young that helped him be sure to fight to the end, especially because this was his dream and he followed up to it.

        I admire Muhammad Ali becuase he is the type of person that does not give up. Muhammad Ali inspires me becuase I would like to do what he did which was live u p to my dream. He did not give up he pushed and pushed till he finally reached his goal which also enpressed me the most! He was a susscessful man in the ring as well with knowing people. Muhammad Ali is a very polite man this is why he was married about 4 times, and during his marrage all 4 times, all together he had about seven daughters and two sons. When he was about 25 years old he married a 17 year old girl, just for his love he changed her name from Belinda Boyd to Khalilah Ali, she changed it because she joined a Islam Community to be the same as her husband, Muhammad Ali. During his professional boxing career he only lost 5 times and the rest he won from either K.O. or just by the origional way of fighting to the end with a regular win by hits fight. Muhammad Ali to me is one of the best Heavy Weight boxer ever! he is now retired and he is now the age of 68, he may look older in pictures becuase he still has scars from all of the hard fights he fought.
