Muhammad Ali Joins Twitter on 50th Anniversary of His Epic Fight Against Sonny Liston [VIDEO]

Can you imagine how Muhammad Ali would have utilized social media back in his day? The man was infamous for talking trash and I can only imagine what sort of hashtags he would have come up with for his opponents. It may be too late for him to talk trash, but the man formerly known as Cassius Clay has finally done it.

He's joined Twitter.

The decision came on the 50th anniversary of his epic fight against Sonny Liston and was announced with this tweet:

I shook up the world against Liston, now 50 years later I'm taking it to Twitter #AliTweet pic.twitter.com/3eCm72USis

If you look at his page you might think there is no way that the 72-year old Ali sent out over 1000 tweets in just over a day or so. Well--he didn't. His account has been around for awhile he just hasn't been the one actually doing the tweeting. 

Going forward if the tweet has #AliTweet in it than it came from the man himself. So in honor of the man enjoy some of his greatest moments.



Boxing will never see a fighter quite like Muhammad Ali again.

The man was the greatest in more ways than one; as a fighter, entertainer, and agent for change. If there was a fight to be had the last thing that ever came to his mind was not taking it (hmmm...Floyd Mayweather could learn a lesson).
