He was the toughest fighter. In and out of the ring. He fought for his title and for his fight to stay alive. If I had to be In Ali's shoes I would appreciate the cost of a Hit. Especially if one landed me in "Life's Pit." Blocking the blows that hit not just my face However, also hitting my heart.... I can truly admire the man who made it as a boxer from his humble start. A family man. A believer in "equal" crowds.... His dying wish made me look back at a legend Feeling for him and his journey, quite proud. He was a great fighter in and out of the ring. Mohammad Ali...... I still hear your bells ring.
This poem is dedicated to a great boxer, family man, and true caring individual. My boxing hero, "Mohammad Ali."
