And here are some of his best punches from youtube,
1. Fight of the Century: This fight between these two is remembered as the "Fight of the Century."
2. Thrilla in Manila: This bout of his still ranked as one of the best moments in sports history. Ali contributed to the fight's name, as he would frequently rhyme about being a,"Killa and a Thrilla and a chilla, when I get that gorilla in Manila."
RIP Muhammed Ali.
