Life Lesson I Chose Muhammad Ali because he was a very outspoken African American. I Also like the fact that he set and accomplished many goals in his life. That proved to me that you can accomplish anything in life as long as you put your mind to it. I consider Muhammad Ali one of the most intelligent and best boxer ever. There will definitely never be another guy like Muhammad Ali.
