Muhammad Ali - sportsman of the 20th century

**Martijn (admin)** Sat Jan 19, 2013 1:40 pm

Muhammad Ali "The Greatest", became world champion heavyweight boxing at age 22; and he is generally considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time by boxing commentators and historians. Later he became also known as a philanthropist, social activist, and a cultural icon.

Ali brought beauty and grace to the most uncompromising of sports (boxing) and through the wonderful excesses of skill and character.

In 1999, Ali was crowned "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated, and "Sports Personality of the Century" by the BBC.

NOTICE: Some say (believe) that Muhammad Ali had a simian line, but he does not have the 'single palmar transverse crease' - see the picture above and below.

"I am the greatest!"

Ali was never shy to proclaim that he was the best boxer in the world.

It appears that some people have continued to believe that Muhammad Ali had a simian line, but these picture show for both hands that there is a considerably large space found between his heart- and head lines.

Technically, hands where the heart line connects with the fused part of the head- and life line can be recognized to represent an example of a 'single radial base crease', which in this variant sort of represents an intermediate variant between a simian crease and a Suwon crease (a Suwon 3 variant, where the lower red Suwon line part connects with the radial part of the head line - see the 4th picture below)

One more impression of Muhammad Ali's left hand, definitely no simian line... the hand cast (print) was probably overemphasizing the presence of at bast a bride-like formation between his heart line and head line.

This photo suggests that both hands can both be described to have basically just a normal formation:
