What If Ali Had Met Lee

What if Ali had met Lee? Both of them were fast, and Bruce Lee admired Muhammad Ali. You could tell by the way he borrowed Ali's shuffle and made it his own. If Ali had met Bruce Lee, he would have told Lee: You stole my shuffle, but you ain't fast as me.

Muhammad Ali always mentioned in his rhyme: 'His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see.' Bruce and Ali probably would have sparred with one another. Bruce Lee probably would have showed Muhammad Ali that it is possible to hit what you cannot see by sparring with him blind folded.

Bruce Lee knew mixed martial arts, but could he have beaten Muhammad Ali in regular boxing? If you want my honest opinion, I don't think so. Muhammad Ali probably would have gotten a kick out of some of Bruce's philosophy. Bruce Lee would have told him to be shapeless and formless like water. Muhammad Ali probably would have told Bruce: I'm going to shape and form you into a punching bag.

I believe that Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali would have been great friends. I believe that they would have learned a lot from each other with tricks, fun, and games.

Muhammad Ali's Fight

Muhammad Ali believes in fighting. He will not let anything get him down. Mr. Ali is the strongest man I have ever seen. He fought in the ring, and he's still fighting because he refuses to let anyone or anything beat him. There are a lot of people giving up in life. It's great to see champions like Ali so it can inspire us to fight and move on too. If you are sick, fight. If you loose your job, fight. Whatever it may be, with the help of God, you can overcome.

Laila Ali_ The Sting of Victory

The Sting of Victory

Laila Ali is the Sting of Victory. She is undefeated to this day. If she would step back into the ring, it would be just the way she left it. Laila would clean house. In other words, she would win, win, and win.

Laila Ali Is Night Stingin'

It is said that Laila Ali trained nightly at the Los Angeles Boxing Gym. It is said that she never missed a night (From Jet magazine, April 26, 1999). Well, I believe it. All of her training paid off.

Lady of Sting

Laila doesn't rhyme like her father. If she did, she would be just like him. Just because she doesn't rhyme, that does not mean that she doesn't have the ability. I didn't always have the ability until my mother showed me I could by reading me nursery rhymes. She told me I could write my own poems. I knew how nursery rhymes were written, and I took it from there. My mother planted the seed.

There is something I have noticed about Laila. She makes good speeches. It's easy to tell the world what you know when you know it. I believe that Laila Ali can do just about anything.

Laila Ali the Boxer

Laila is a boxer, and you got to misbehave when you box. I get a kick out of seeing Laila misbehave. I know that her opponents talk junk to her, and Laila remembers everything they say. Whenever she steps into the ring, she looks at her opponents so mean. That makes me laugh. Laila doesn’t blink. Her opponents try to look mean back, but they know that they are doomed. If you are a fan watching, you know that Laila is going to whip somebody. That is Laila Ali the boxer.

Sometimes, I get sort of sad. I wish I could meet Laila Ali the human being. I know that she is just ordinary. She cooks, she has a family, she looks like she's fun, she could be a great sister to someone who has no sisters, she travels, and she's probably someone that you could learn a lot from when she's willing to share.

Getting back to Laila's boxing talent, she is extraordinary. That is Laila Ali the boxer.

One Champion

Laila's Path Way and Father's Care

Big Champ & Little Champ

We can inherit talents from our parents and other kin folks. Sometimes we can reach way back and inherit talents from a great grandfather. Sometimes it takes someone to bring it out of us. Whatever we have inherited from our parents in our talents, you might or might not find that you can do it better than them. You may even find that your ideas are a lot different although you may have the same talent. The time in which we live may have more to offer than the time of our parents. Knowledge is increasing. The things that you had growing up your parents may not have had. You can learn from your parents and learn from their mistakes. They can learn from watching you also. They can give you advice on what you could do better. However, when you are born with a talent, it comes natural.

Running Heart to Heart

Big Champ and Little Champ

Big Champ and Little Champ is a father and daughter comic of Muhammad Ali and his daughter Laila. I was inspired to create this comic by seeing Laila's father at her fights. Whenever I would see him standing beside her in the ring, he looked so proud, and Laila looked so happy.
