It's extrordinary that after all these years Muhammad Ali still remains one of the top icons in sport. He is scheduled to visit Great Britain this week and boxing fans and others are eager to welcome a true legend. I am very interested in what it takes to create such a persona and how sports icons stir such emotion in people. Ali is definitely a fascinating study in how sports elevates society and culture.
For more insight read my new book, "Giants On My Shoulders". This is the story of Frank Steele, an unknown club boxer who sparred with Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and other boxing legends. Visit: www.strategicbookpublishing.com/GiantsOnMyShoulders.html.

Ali = The Greatest
It’s extraordinary but not surprising. Ali is simply the greatest fighter—boxing, MMA or otherwise—ever.
