Muhammad Ali
Born Cassius Clay Jr., the famed boxer changed his name to Muhammad Ali shortly after he won the heavyweight title from Sonny Liston in 1964. Ali was known as much for his pre-fight antics and psychological gamesmanship as his devastating blows and characteristic dancing footwork in the ring. He is the only fighter to have regained the heavyweight title three times after losing. The Ali-Joe Frazier fight, the "€œThrilla in Manila"€ as it is known, still ranks as one of the best fights in boxing history. In later years, Ali developed Parkinson's Disease, largely caused by the blows he received during his long career in the ring.
