"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them--a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." -Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxing champions of all time. His skills were unparalleled, and his words have never been forgotten. From his birth in 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky, to his first Golden Gloves win to his conversion to Islam and his opposition to the Vietnam War, Ali: The Official Portrait of "The Greatest" of All Time is a complete and fascinating exploration of the man whose legendary motto was "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Every aspect of the fighter's life is illustrated with beautiful, full-color photos. And Ali's iconic quotes are inserted throughout to show him from every angle, a portrait of a man whose will was stronger than anyone's.
