By Nobel MiahWhy did Muhammed Ali become a boxer?
I don't know why, but Ali was superbly equipped for the task. A big man, tall with a long reach. Ali was so fast on his feet, fast hands with a great jab. Few, in his early years, would lay a glove on him.
The Boxers were members of a secret group who were officially named the "Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists". The name of Boxers was a nickname given by the Europeans. The Boxers hated anyone who was a foreigner, especially missionaries. But even their own were not exempt. The Boxers had a deep hatred for the Chinese who had been converted to Christianity. The attacks and killings by this group finally caused European governments to send in troops and make demands that this treatment be stopped and reparations made.

Rocky Marciano is one of BOXINGS most revered Legends. ACCORDING to a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED STORY LINE published about "20 years ago" he was.
