🥊 Muhammad Ali pictured with childhood friend, former sparring partner and ring rival Jimmy Ellis.
If you zoom in on the picture you will see an ashtray next to Ali with spent cigarette ends inside the tray.
I always knew Alis feet and hands were smokin…….not those precious lungs that saw him win many a fight with sheer grit and heart having that little bit of extra push in those all important championship rounds.
Ali didn’t always box beautifully to a win…many times he showed his championship mentality and undenying will to win and would stand and fight.
The ability to push yourself through when it’s easier to sit down is what separates Ali from many of his contemporaries.
