Which boxer was nicknamed “The Greatest” and is famous for the phrase “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”?

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali, one of the most iconic sports figures of the 20th century, not only made history with his exceptional performances in the ring but also played a significant role outside of it, as a social and cultural activist. His refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs and positions against the war, had a profound impact on American public opinion and helped change the way athletes viewed their public platform. Ali won the world heavyweight title three times, a first in boxing history, and his legendary fights, especially against Joe Frazier and George Foreman, remain etched in the memories of boxing fans around the world. His charisma, pre-fight poetry, and ability to predict the rounds of his victories made him a living legend, whose legacy far exceeds the bounds of the sport.
