Muhammad Ali Turns 70

Muhammad Ali Turns 70There are only a handful of athletes who manage to transcend their respective sports to become true global icons. Muhammad Ali tops that list, and today he turns 70.

This is the perfect excuse to share my favourite picture of Ali, taken by Neil Leifer for Sports Illustrated. This is Ali after knocking down Sonny Liston in Lewiston, Maine back in 1965.

I can't remember when I gave up on boxing, as it was so long ago. But I loved watching Ali.
