When I first saw this photograph it was in a sports illustrated magazine about 6 years ago. This is a photograph of the late great Muhammad Ali. Ali was a professional boxer, he was also generally considered one the greatest heavyweights in sports history. After my first viewing of this photograph I instantly wanted to know who he was, where he was from, and how he was put in the sports illustrated magazine. The late great Ali shows a lot of confidence and aggression after knocking out his opponent Sonny Listen in this picture. After researching more about Muhammad Ali I learned that he took pride in boxing, he fought toe to toe against the best and beet the best. Seeing Muhammad accomplish his goals in the ring makes me feel empowered because it shows me that if I work hard at what I do, I can accomplish my goals too.
