Yesterday was Muhammad Ali’s 70th birthday. Happy belated birthday, Champ! Ali is and always has been a great humanitarian – a celebrity who deserves to be applauded the world over. I would consider him one of the most important figures in the second half of 20th century history.
Instead of going over and listing out all of Ali’s achievements in the humanitarian world, I just wanted to show you the amazing clip above. In 1981 Ali rescued a man who was threatening to jump from a Los Angeles window. No one, not the police or fire department, could get the distraught young man from stepping down off the ledge – then Ali showed up. Knocking fools out in the ring is one thing, savings someone’s life is a whole other game. Greatest of All Time, indeed.
