2. Muhammad Ali’s Fav

3. Ghandi
Gandhi wanted peace for all people and wanted equality. Muhammad Ali was the same way because he thought it was the way for a black man to be equal with the white. They would have been people that fought for rights.

4. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Floyd is a great boxer that boxes and acts the same way the Ali did. They both had that attitude that they are better than anyone else and they both used their quickness to their advantage in a fight.

5. Martin Luther King Jr.
Both of these men where interested in helping others. Martin was helping in the equality part while Muhammad was helping kids that were less fortunate than he was as a child. Both of these men want the best for people.

6. Oprah
Oprah always has people on her show that have went through adversity or have been through a rough time in their life. She tries to help them the best she can and most of the time helps a lot. Muhammad has take his life after boxing to do the same with his time and money.

7. Coach K
Coach K is a couch that shows dedication to what he does and never gives up on anything that comes in his way. Ali went through this same thing by being the underdog in all of his fights and looked at as the lowest. He worked as hard as he could and became the number 1 boxer.

8. Non-Favs

9. Joe Frazier
Joe was the man that Ali fought in the “Thrilla in Manilla” where there was lots of tension and attitudes towards each other. Ali won the fight and the tension between the two became worse as they kept fighting throughout the years.

10. Supreme Court
Because he was Muslim, he did not want to participate in the war that was going on at the time so the country tried to sue him. Even though he was not put in jail, he lost all of his wrestling titles and had to sit out for some time before he was reinstated.

11. George Foreman
George Foreman was the man that Ali fought in the “Rumble in the Jungle”. They fought in a huge fight that tons of people were watching an Ali was very confident in himself. They both had a lot of disputes before the fight itself.

12. Hitler
Hitler was a man that was very racist and Ali was a man that was a black fighter that opened the doors for others. Hitler would have been the man that would have stopped Ali from doing what he did for our nation.

13. The Bike Thief
When he was younger, a person that is still unknown today, stole his bike and was the reason that he became very angry and wanted to box so he could hit people. The day it happened he wanted to find this person and beat them up.

14. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Fav

15. Gandhi
Gandhi was a man that wanted to find peace in the most peaceful way that he could think of. This is exactly what King wanted and he did which eventually succeded. His idol was Gandhi and he always listened to his thoughts.

16. Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was the first president that tried to abolish slavery. This was the first attempt to give the rights to the black man and women that King fought for some years later. They both wanted the same rights and both accomplished it.

17. Barack Obama
Obama is the first black president and it has changed many things as well as showing the people that have seen the unequality what a change their can be. King has fought for this his whole life and he would be so proud to have seen his work be forfilled.

18. Oprah
She is all about the equality of people and helping others no matter what. King was the same way even though his was mostly for the african- americans. They both would have been happy if people found their rights even if they didn’t have them.

19. Michael Jackson
Jackson was a man that gave all sorts of money to charities because he wanted the kids that were not so happy to have as much help to be happy. King was a man that wanted people to be happy and would do anything to help them get there.

20. Non-Fav’s

21. Malcolm X
Malcolm X was trying to find the equality the King was be he was trying to fight it with power and non peaceful ways. King wanted to do this in a peaceful way and Malcolm X and him were trying to do it differently.

22. KKK
The KKK was the group that tried to keep the African-Americans from getting their rights and they were very abusive to the others. They were the reason that King was killed and the reason that his family was not safe at his own home.

23. Hitler
Hitler was a man that was not into justice because he killed tons of people because they were not the color of eyes or hair that he wanted. This was the same problems that King was having because the people were not the right skin color.

24. James Earl Ray
James Earl Ray was the man that killed King. He tried to run away from the people to but got caught. He is the reason that the man that was changing the future for the states was killed and he was not able to see what happened for the states.

25. Tiger Woods
King was all about making a great example for kids for their lives and how they should try to live theirs. Tiger started to do that and then did something that showed kids a side of a person that they should never look up to. It changed how kids look at role models.
