| A kid that most expected to get knocked out in 3, named Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr beat Sonny Liston and introduced movement and footwork to boxing. The next morning he changed his name to Muhammed Ali. He along with Bo jackson, Dave Winfield and Jim Thorpe is always in the discussion as the greatest athlete of the 1900's. |

If we are talking about the guy that was drafted in the NFL, NBA and MLB and never played a minor league game in MLB then yes we are talking about the same guy.
He was a stud. |
