5) 2012 Olympic Games – London
The 2012 London Olympics, as we know now, will remain the last time ever that the legend made his appearance at the Games arena.
During the opening ceremony, as the Olympic flag was carried into the stadium by iconic figures such as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and former World and Olympic Champion runner Haile Gebrselassie, the band came to a halt in front of the Alis.
Amidst thundering applause, Muhammad Ali slowly approached the flag and extended his hand to represent the fundamental virtues that the Olympics bring to the forefront before it was carried on towards the central stage by the celebrated bearers.
