    Throughout the 1960's, 1970's. 1980's, and even the 1990's. Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr entertained the crowd for many years with his razor-sharp speed, his sugary sweet style, his scientific methods, and his dazzling footwork always gave the crowd sweet-tooth. However, thought-out all these great battles Ali had, was Muhammad Ali the only boxer to have the dazzling style or were there admirers behind him who danced aside with him? Back in the day, there were some up-coming amateurs in the AAU league who admired or were inspired by the greatest of all time, they would enter the Muhammad Ali Amateur Club to fight for him and want to take on the role of Cassius 'The Greatest 'Clay (I'll just call it the MAAC for now, if someone has the official name, respond in this thread immediately so I don't look dumb XD.) There were boxers who wanted to take on this title, but it wasn't easy. From what I researched, Tony Tubbs was a major one who join the MAAC and fought Marvis Frazier during the amateur days, at this time Tubbs was representing Muhammad Ali and had the uniform for it as well.
