the greatest
before boxer muhammad ali became one of the most famous people in the world, he was cassius marcellus clay, a brash and friendly 18-year-old who travelled to the 1960 rome olympics to compete in the light heavyweight division. he won all four of his fights easily. in the final he defeated three-time european champion zbigniew pietrzykowski.
clay turned professional and, in 1964, he stopped sonny liston to win the world heavyweight championship. over the next four years he defended his title nine times.
he converted to islam and changed his name to muhammad ali. after he refused to be drafted into the united states army during the vietnam war, he was stripped of his title and did not fight again for 3 ½ years.
ali regained his title in 1974 by knocking out george foreman. he defended his championship ten more times before losing to leon spinks, whom he then defeated seven months later.
ali retired from boxing in 1981 with a professional record of 56 wins and 5 losses.
in 1996, ali was chosen to light the cauldron during the opening ceremony of the atlanta olympics. he has devoted much of his life to humanitarian affairs. in 1998 ali was honoured with the united nations messenger of peace award.

伟大
1960年，一位腼腆而友好的名叫卡修斯•马塞勒斯•克莱的18岁运动员来到罗马参加夏季奥运轻重量级拳击金牌的争夺。那时没有人知道他，这位 后来成为世界最有名的人物之一，改名叫穆罕默德•阿里的拳王。十六岁的他在这届奥运会上没有遇到任何的对手，全部四场比赛，他都轻松获胜。在决赛中，他三 次击倒了欧洲冠军比格涅夫•皮耶特日科夫斯基。
在1964年，卡修斯开始转入职业拳坛，并从桑尼•里斯顿手里夺得世界重量级拳击冠军。在接下来的九年中， 他九次卫冕成功。
随后，他皈依了穆斯林并改名为穆罕默德•阿里。在越战期间，他拒绝加入美国军队服役。为此，他被剥夺了他的冠军头衔，并且在随后的三年半 时间内禁赛。
1974年，阿里击败福尔曼重新夺回世界重量级拳王, 随后他又连续十多次卫冕成功。在1981年，阿里带着创职业拳坛纪录的56胜5负的纪录退役。
在1996年的亚特兰大奥运会上，阿里被选为点亮开幕式火炬 的运动员。他将他的余生贡献给了全人类，1998年，他获得联合国和平信使奖。
