A Blast from the Past January 16, 2007
I first read about Cassius Clay in Ring Magazine when I was 10 years old and he was a youngster fighting in Louisville, Kentucky. I rooted for him during the 1960 Olympics, and cheered for him throughout his career. This book brought back many memories and reminded me of what a breath of fresh air he was during the sixties. I'm not sure if Ali was the "Father of Rap" as Mr. Lois postulates, but he certainly set the stage for the many colorful athletes who have followed him and tried, unsuccessfully, to match his brash, colorful, and charming use of words. He was one of a kind, and this book reminds us of just how amazing he was.

Muhammad Ali was the first Rapping Fighter. He always had a quote to get your attention. he would name the round with your name at when he was gonna knock you out. He had that Gift as not only as a Fighter but also as a Wordsmith. He had a Combination that made a lasting impression with His Boxing Skills&His Word play on the spot. Muhammad Ali is truly a one of a kind.
