Muhammad Ali: What made 'The Greatest' so great?
It is crass, I know, to reduce Muhammad Ali's greatness to little more than a game of Top Trumps. And how great, really, is a man who happens to have been conferred with the tools to render another man senseless?
But there's the thing. Even if you consider feats of athleticism to be trifling in the grand scheme of things, there is a chance you still find Ali compelling. Because, with Ali, athletic feats were only a part of the whole.
Ali created the mould for the modern athlete and promptly broke it. No athlete has been so great in so many different ways since.
Here, BBC Sport breaks Ali's greatness into its constituent parts, in an attempt to explain why there has never been anyone greater and probably never will be.

If Ali were white the world would absolutely revile him.
Calling himself "The Greatest" would send the frenzied Euro and North American self-loathing, white-guilt tripping throngs into fits of rage.
But he's black, so he's a legend. Who cares if he's a racist?
