Boxing posters make us remember such greats as Muhammad Ali. He was the greatest fighter of all time. "Float like a butterfly - Sting like a bee." These were the famous words spoken by Muhammad Ali. Formerly known as Cassius Clay, Ali fought with grace and confidence. In the mid 1960's, Clay shocks the world with repeated jabs and combinations and becomes heavyweight champion against Sonny Liston. Ali then regains the title again in the 1970's for four more years. Cursed later on in life with Parkinson's Disease, Ali will always remain my favorite fighter. Check out my tribute to Muhammad Ali.
Rocky Marciano, heavyweight champion in the early 1950's, won the title against Jersey Joe Walcott. Trailing in points, Marciano KO's Walcott in the 13th round with a single right hand and captures the most prized title in boxing.
Lennox Lewis, the undisputed heavy weight champion of the world has laid them all to rest! While he hasn't confirmed whether or not he will be retiring he has expressed an interest in a possible rematch with Vitali Klitschko in the future.

Along
with Muhammad Ali, other great athletes deserve the spotlight as well.
Rocky Marciano, Mike Tyson, and most recently Lennox Lewis.
In
1986, Mike Tyson becomes the youngest champion ever by disposing
of Trevor Berbick in the first 2 rounds. "Iron Mike" remains
champion for the next four years before he loses it. Along with the title,
Tyson also loses the respect of many with convictions and jail terms.
