“An amazing book...all the iconic photographs that people took of The Champ.” ―Barack ObamaGREATEST OF ALL TIME: A TRIBUTE TO MUHAMMAD ALI is a book with the power, courage, depth, creativity, and dazzling energy of its extraordinary subject. Slimmed down from the heavyweight Collector’s Edition, this bantamweight edition is smaller in size, but pulls no punches on its expertise, passion, and insight on The Champ.
With thousands of images, including photography, art, and memorabilia and two gatefold sequences, the book pays vivid tribute to The Greatest both in and outside of the ring. Original essays and five decades’ worth of interviews and writing explore the courage, convictions, and extraordinary image-building that made Ali one of the most recognizable and inspirational individuals on the planet, an icon not only as an extraordinary athlete, but also as an impassioned advocate of social justice, interfaith understanding, and peace.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Greatest of All Time: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali is not just a book; it is a testament to the extraordinary life of one of the world's most famous athletes. GOAT delves into the intricate layers of Ali's existence, tracing Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.'s journey from his humble beginnings navigating segregation and financial hardship in Louisville, Kentucky, to his evolution into the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.Essays by those closest to him reveal stories behind monumental fights like those with Sonny Liston, the Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman, and Thrilla in Manila against Joe Frazier. The book also explores Ali's signature fighting style, which, when paired with his rapper-style wit, positioned him as a charismatic figure inside and outside the ring.Beyond boxing, GOAT weaves together Ali's historic moments with his resilience against discrimination and his determination to confront racial inequities. His triumph at the 1960 Rome Olympics was marred by hostility, underscoring the racial tensions he faced; Ali boldly challenged these prevailing biases. The boxer's embrace of Islam became a cornerstone of his moral standards, guiding his principles against racism, inequality, and undue violence, with the latter informing his staunch opposition to the Vietnam War.Interspersed between these accounts are thousands of historical documents and images of Ali, including the boxer's documentarian-turned-confidant Howard Bingham's intimate snapshots, Neil Leifer and Flip Schulke's iconic pictures, and Hank Kaplan's archival contributions. Stills from Leon Gast's film 'When We Were Kings', which told the story of Ali's pivotal 1974 fight, are also included in the volume.GOAT is a heartfelt homage to a boxing legend, exploring Muhammad Ali's indomitable spirit and celebrating his enduring impact on civil rights, sports, and culture. Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life of Muhammad Ali. An immersive tribute featuring rare historical documents and thousands of photographs taken by renowned photographers like Howard Bingham and Neil Leifer, the book explores the historic battles both inside and outside the ring that defined Ali's career and legacy.
