    Jim Brown, one of the greatest football players in NFL history, was no slouch at lacrosse and other sports. But boxing?

    The Cleveland Browns Hall of Fame running back, a legendarily tough man, decided to try his hand at the sport after retiring from football following the 1965 season, but his target wasn’t just any boxer. It was The Greatest, his friend Muhammad Ali. Brown, as Chris Mannix told the story in Sports Illustrated in 2012, thought a bout would generate a massive payday and approached Arum, the long-time promoter he had introduced to Ali. Brown was in the process of becoming an actor, but Arum, out of gratitude, thought he should approach with Brown’s wish.

    “So I went to talk to Ali,” Arum told Mannix. “He says, ‘Jim wants to do what? Bring him here.’ So I took him to Hyde Park in London, where Ali used to run. Ali said, ‘Jimmy, here’s what we’re going to do: You hit me as hard as you can.’

    So Brown starts swinging and swinging, and he can’t hit him. He’s swinging wildly and not even coming close. This goes on for, like, 30 seconds. Then Ali hits him with this quick one-two to his face. Jimmy just stops and says, ‘Okay, I get the point.’
    Difference is, Ali didn't take the easy payday. He just proved the point in silence and went on to become the Greatest.
