Muhammad Ali was well known for his boxing career. He had a different style of boxing for the heavy weight division. Being at six foot three inches tall was going to be a really good advantage for him in the ring. He had a different take on defending himself in the ring.

“Commentators felt that Ali had reached the end of the road” the verb “Felt” represents the opinion of the commentators that Ali has grown old to this game and also believes its best if he would hang off his gloves. Then the writer uses lots of superlative adjectives such as “Bigger”, “Younger” and “stronger” to describe Ali’s opponent Foreman, who was like an obstacle in Ali’s path towards the championship belt and also the crowd favourite to win the match. Furthermore the writer boasts about Foreman’s victory against the two men who previously beat Muhammad Ali by using powerful post-modifying adjective “Foreman had destroyed…” showing Foreman’s superiority against Ali and trying to boost up his confidence before the match. The writer then uses an adjective “great” to describe the noun “promotion”, describing the readers that it was one of the most renowned boxing matches ever to be promoted in the history of boxing. Focusing back to Muhammad Ali, the verb “Muhammad Ali soon settled into Africa” implies that he has established himself in Africa, where the match was taking place, to get familiar with the extreme climate.

Boxing fans would have pondered as to who would come out on top in a fantasy matchup between boxing’s two biggest ever attractions, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Ali and Tyson represented a far cry of styles: Ali substantiated the naturally gifted and charismatic boxers, a winner in and out of the boxing ring, never smudging his reputation after his career, while Tyson demonstrated a street thug who won in the boxing ring, but with little to say outside and lost his public appeal, as the saying goes “the bigger they are the harder they fall.” Firstly, experts and the public alike didn’t think much of Ali’s skills, or his personal behavior. They disliked and thought he indulged in flaunting and over confidence like saying “I am the greatest”, the way in which he portrayed himself and his opponent for an upcoming bout. He ironically went on to be known as “The Greatest.” Ali arrived on the boxing scene by winning a Gold medal in the 1960 Olympics.
According to Ben Askren, a two-time NCAA champion and an Olympic team member, there are two thing in wrestling that are always true. He believes a wrestler has to wrestle at the correct weight class in order to be successful and the more mentally tough wrestler wins if everything else is equal. Since it is known that the more mentally tougher wrestler wins, he states that the act of losing a lot of weight puts the wrestler’s mind into a tougher state of mind. Many wrestlers believe the more weight they lose, the bigger they are compared to the rest of their competitors, which ultimately leads to more success. This is true in some cases, but only if the weight is lost in a healthy amount of time and by maintaining a healthy diet.
As the legend describes, the massive Goliath is put forth by the Philistines as their best warrior, and the Israelites are required to do so as well; the outcome of the conflict is determined by the victor of this duel. The Israelites select David, a diminutive and relatively weak man in comparison to his counterpart, and all signs point toward a decisive Philistine victory. Nonetheless, through the deft use of a slingshot, David swiftly dispatches his opponent and the Israelites emerge victorious. [3] This tale is often used as an inspiration in art for a population, as it reflects tenacity and resourcefulness, as well as the ability to prevail over seemingly insurmountable odds. In fact, Michelangelo's David was created specifically to reflect these values, as Florence commissioned the work as a symbol of its triumphs over far stronger and larger rivals.
