Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) brought unprecedented speed and grace to the sport of boxing. The phrase "floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee" comes to mind when we think of Ali. Sports Illustrated named him "Sportsman of the Century." In 2005, he received the United States of America's highest civil award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
