MaxSports Monday

Before we can get started, let's be serious. Boxing Legend Muhammad Ali has passed away, I've heard a lot about over the past few days and I learned a lot a things about him I didn't know. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, loss only five times within his boxing career, and was an important figure during the civil rights movement. The man won an Olympics Golden Medal at the 1960 Summer Games in Rome and competed at Madison Square Garden against John Frazier in the Fight of the Century in 1978. My father remembered Ali when he was young and when he saw him up close and personal he thought "Man, this guy doesn't look like a big boxer"; I thought to myself it would have been great to see him as well. We have lost so many important black people, but coming from a family of Jamaicans and Africans, I am proud to black. I say Rest in Peace to the Greatest of All Time, you will always be the greatest.
