First of all, I’m going to put the sentence in reported speech. I think it would be, Muhammad Ali told the people to float like a butterfly and to sting like bee.
ResponderEliminarAnd I’m also going to transform the sentence of the image, Muhammad Ali said that he was the Greatest and he also said that even before he knew he was.
Muhammad Ali was born in 1942 in Louisville. He was probably the best boxer of all times and one of the best sportsman of the history. He initiated the boxing world because of the theft of his bike, since the policeman who realized the denunciation was a trainer of boxing.
At the age of eighteen he obtained his first great success, he won the golden medal of the light heavyweight in the Olympic Games of Rome in 1960 and after that he became professional thanks to his trainer Angelo Dundee. He was proclaimed champion of the world for the first time in 1964.
At the end of his career he had disputed 61 combats with 56 victories (37 for KO) and 5 defeats.
I think there won’t be another boxer like him in the world.

It is making yourself invisible and able to see. in this state you become everything, you have no limits. It never ends. You cross mountains. It is a world without space nor time. that's how his life was. He was in charge of the universe.
