Today is Muhammad Ali's 70th birthday, and to celebrate it I have pulled together a few photos that I think represent him as a man and as a boxer. In the past few months I have gathered a real interest in Ali's career, as well as boxing in the 60's and 70's. No matter what your opinion of him, you can't deny his ability to entertain, nor can you deny the impact he had on sport in the 20th century.
