Mohammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston during a fight he won to become the lineal heavyweight champion in 1964. 

He is called "The Greatest", he is called Mohammad Ali. But I'm going to be very short and precise about this icon in the world of boxing and I'm going to ask a very simple question. Make sure you don't go through any search website before answering my question.

He is called "The Greatest" because he is the greatest, the greatest in 20th century boxing history, the father of knockouts, the best in ring-poetry and one of the most controversial boxers that ever lived. I am not going to say anything about his personal life but will be very brief about his professional boxing career.

Born and raised in Kentucky, USA in 1942, started training as a boxer at the age of 12, the youngest boxer to win a gold medal for light heavyweight boxing at an Olympic games at age 18, became a professional heavyweight boxer at age 18. The man that had the least number of fights to win the lineal heavyweight world champion as compared to his predecessors, the best orthodox boxer of all time, the best in the game of jab-talk-boxing, father of knockouts. A prolific boxer that predicts the very round he'll knockout his opponent, the nemesis of Sonny Liston, died in 2016, what a marvelous boxer.

Young Mohammad Ali. 

Like I said earlier on, I will just mention but a few points about his pro boxing career and end my write-up with a question. He is known as "The Greatest". He is called Mohammad Ali. But what is this boxing icon's full, real and birth names??????????
