Muhammad Ali

Nakon boksa

Kroz sve svoje godine boksačke karijere Ali se osim neporecivim iznimnim boksačkim talentom isticao i brojnim kontroverznim izjava i ponašanjem. Prelaz na Islam, vješto korištenje medijske pozornosti, specifičan način verbalnog i neverbalnog provociranja protivnika prije, za vrijeme i nakon borbe čine Alija svakako najprepoznatljivijom ikonom boksa. Smatra se da je Ali prva i najveća medijska sportska zvijezda 20. stoljeća.

Što se samog boksa tiče, iako je njegova vještina i snaga bila neupitna, poneku mrlju na karijeru bacile su sumnjive borbe s Listonom, te nekoliko sumnjivih sudačkih odluka u režiji moćnog promotora Don Kinga. Ipak, ne mali broj stručnjaka će se složiti da je Ali možda i najbolji boksač svih vremena, što je on sam za sebe često neskromno isticao u svakoj prilici.

Nažalost, Ali je vrlo brzo nakon prestanka karijere obolio od Parkinsonove bolesti, koja je zadnjih godina uvelike oštetila njegov živčani sustav. Nije poznato koliko je dugogodišnje bavljenje boksom i veliki broj primljenih udaraca pomoglo razvoju bolesti.
