Muhammad Ali won another round of love and appreciation for his achievements as a fighter in and out of the ring on Thursday night.
The latest celebration of the three-time world heavyweight champion and self-proclaimed 'Greatest Of All Time' featured former champions Larry Holmes and George Foreman, two notable opponents who gladly came to honor Ali at the Sports Illustrated Legacy Awards ceremony in his Kentucky hometown.
Friends, associates, dignitaries and former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal also were on hand for the ceremony on the 40th anniversary of Ali's third fight with Joe Frazier, an epic showdown known as the 'Thrilla in Manila.'
