#4 Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali is one of the most renowned and celebrated sportspersons in history, inspiring people with his achievements in the ring and outside it. He was rated as the greatest athlete of the 20th century Sports Illustrated and BBC, and nicknamed 'the Greatest', Ali's trash talk and intimidation of his opponents are truly legendary.
He has been involved in some of the greatest boxing matches in history, against the likes of Joe Frazier and George Foreman, but his match against Larry Holmes in 1980 is widely criticized. A year prior to it, he had announced his retirement but came back to fight Holmes for the world heavyweight championship.
Ali was a shadow of the man he was, suffering from stutters and trembling hands, but he still chose to fight. Holmes dominated the match, with Ali barely managing to fight back. The fight was stopped in the 11th round by Ali's trainer, which made it the only loss he suffered via knockout.
