Laila Ali Is An Icon of Women’s Boxing

When I think of Laila Ali, I think of Icon. I think of longevity for Laila. I think that she has left a mark in women’s boxing. Now Laila has gone on to do other things in life. I also think of ubiquity when I think of Laila. Her image and her father’s image is being represented in my art. When I think of Laila, I think of distinction. To me, she can have many nick names, but her known nick name is “She Bee Stingin’”. Yep, and she’s just like her daddy. We know him as the greatest of all times, Muhammad Ali. Whenever Laila got into the ring to box, it brought back the love of boxing. I could feel her father in the wind of her wings. Laila brought back real excitement and heart. She brought back old history and memories. I know that she has a life outside of the boxing ring, and she’s got to go on, but thank you Laila Ali for giving us your best. You have added on to my old memories and those memories are of you.
