The Greatest
When one Googles the words, “I am the greatest”, the usual result is the quote said by Muhammad Ali way back in August 1963—six months before he won the world heavyweight championship. He passed away in June 2016 at the age of 74. In other words, you have a generation who doesn’t know him anymore;…
