WHO'S THE PRETTIEST BOY THEN? Muhammad Ali, seen here with The Beatles, became a cultural icon

Ali star Will Smith is doing a remake of the Karate Kid, the 1980s movie that made Ralph Macchio famous.

With all the remakes and remixes we keep seeing in the movies and hearing on the radio, one wonders when we’re going to see a proper make-over in boxing – like a new Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson.

The best we’ve got is Floyd Mayweather, whose ungentlemanly conduct out the ring means he can never be considered in Ali’s class, and Manny Pacquiao, a great boxer who has yet to transcend the ring on the international scale as Ali did.

I often get accused of living in the past when it comes to boxing, but I see I’m not the only one – the entertainment industry does it too.
