RETIRED boxing champ Muhammad Ali was known as "The Greatest" inside the ring. But some say the moniker has been even more fitting in the years since he hung up his gloves.
Ali received the Liberty Medal in Philadelphia on Thursday for his longtime role as a heavyweight for humanitarian causes, civil rights and religious freedom.
The 70-year-old Ali, hobbled by a 30-year battle with Parkinson's disease, did not speak. But he stood with assistance to receive the medal from his daughter Laila Ali. He looked down at his medal for several moments and then waved to the crowd. The award comes with a US$100,000 cash prize.
