Ali was different from his peers not just because of his unorthodox style of boxing but also because of his attitude and focus that he had on the sport. Having been a part of the era that is called the golden era of American boxing Ali beat all of his great peer in their prime, something that makes him so much more greater than the others. Muhammad loved the sport more than the titles and that made him put his title on the line more than any other player before him or since him has done.

He changed to Sunni Islam in 1075 and since has been a great ambassador of peace and friendship around the world. The fact that he comes from the fact that he comes from one of the most brutal sports background and yet has been committed to the cause of peace makes a true sportsman as was rightly named as the Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated in 1999. Muhammad Ali the legend and legacy continues… HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUHHAMMAD ALI…

Tyson drove out of the nightclub and was arrested when he almost hit a sheriff’s truck. Though Tyson showed signs of sobriety, quite unknown to him I must admit, he has been isolated at the Maricopa County jail. Of course the authorities are quick to add that this has been done to further his own safety… hard to believe I say.

His life has been always been one that if you’re a cynic you’d cant help but have a rather cynic smirk on your face every time you heard his name. Mike Tyson has been one of the biggest ironies of the cruel world of boxing. Supremely talented but equally mercurial or rather equally brainless. He was ruthless as an opponent when he started out but as time began to wane so did his senses and looks like his diminishing senses haven’t yet been contained.
