Today I read about one of the greatest boxers ever. His name is Muhammad Ali. The section i read about so far was about his big fight with Sonny Liston. The commentators thought young Muhammad was scared of the hulk like man Sonny Liston, but he wasnt. When the fight started Ali was making the champion look like a fool. As the rounds kept going Ali kept showing up the champ. He was so fast that the champ couldnt even hit him until he was nearly blinded. The newcomer showed the Heavyweight Champion of The World up. Muhammad Ali became the new Heavyweight Champion of The World
