Blogging from A to Z Challenge 2022: A is for Muhammad Ali

 Muhammad Ali was perhaps the first athlete I remember. Muhammad Ali is considered to be the greatest boxer of all time. He had a career record of 56-5 with 37 knock outs. 


Here is his second fight with Leon Spinks, where he won the Heavyweight title for the third time.


Keeping it short and sweet on my first A to Z post this year. Are you a boxing fan? What was your favorite Muhammad Ali fight? Thanks for visiting and I will be back tomorrow with another A to Z post.

R.I.P Leon Spinks

 Boxer Leon Spinks passed away last week. Spinks was an Olympic Gold Medalist who won the light heavyweight division in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. He is most famous for defeating Muhammad Ali in 1978 and becoming the Heavy Weight Champion of the world. He would lose a rematch and his career never reach those lofty heights again.

In the end cancer defeated Spinks. He will be missed by his family, friends and fans.
