Subject

Muhammad Ali: Boxing Legend

Description

Ali is pictured naked from the waist up, with beads of sweat dripping down his body and a radiant, white smile in his face. His muscles are defined, he is dressed in boxing shorts and has his hands taped up; he looks like he just finished a grueling practice session. However, his smile and the ease with which he leans against the ropes suggests that although practice may have seemed difficult, it was not the case for him. His ability to transition from fighting to photoshoot is very suggestive of his athletic abilities.
