It's not only his boxing career that makes him the GOAT but mostly his it's his work outside of his profession that made him gain such a huge respect. Even the kings and queens and Presidents listened to him when he spoke

      Boxing was only the talent that God gave Ali to be able to reach the point of greatest world exposure to develop that great influence with the world.

    One of the biggest highlights of my life was being alive to witness this man's life and career. How well I remember him being disparaged by my adult relatives in the 60s after he changed his name and refused the draft. Even at my younger age I had listened to his reasons and thought, 'You know, he's got a valid point'. It took several years before people finally came around. Now he's a hero to be admired. When people refer to him as 'the greatest', they aren't just referring to his boxing.

    When Ali boxed we had no t. v In Srilanka, even radio was not with many. To listen to the fight commentary, we'd fight to get close. And generally swing punches too, and and sometimes hit one another. He was known in all corners of the island. His picture was every where. After every fight, new pictures were circulating. What an era. Never again Will the world see his likes again. We were lucky.

      I'm sure I adored the champ as much as you all did !
      Yes, those were great days, and we were very lucky to be alive then.
      Best wishes to you !
      P.s. I hope none of you got hurt fighting each other at the radio commentary. Lol
