Muhammad Ali is a class act. My brother and I have often debated if he is
the world's greatest boxer (I think he was - my brother is a little too
young to really remember him in action), but we both agree his post boxing
contributions to the world and fundamental integrity sets him apart from
the rest.

I would argue that not only was he the world's greatest boxer, but he
saved the sport. Before Ali, boxing was mobbed up, and dying. Ali
revitalized it, almost single-handed. He did have a little help from Joe
Frazier. ;-)
