Fans reacted to the video clip of Muhammad Ali
A fan wrote, “Ali became bigger and more important than his sport. Very few people ever do that. Jack Johnson, Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods… but Ali is at the top of that list. The most famous person to ever live outside of political and religious leaders.”
Certainly, no one could match Ali’s endeavors for the cause of people and society. He was one of his kind, who even risked his game for the sake of humanitarianism.
