( L - R ) Usain Bolt, Muhammad Ali - file photos

Undisputed sprint king Usain Bolt would love to meet former heavyweight champion of the world Muhammad Ali, if only to figure out what kept the legendary boxer at the top of his game for so long.

"I think I would want to meet Muhammad Ali. I have already met a lot of people I had hoped to meet, but he is one of the few that I haven't," Bolt told Star Sports.

"I just want to meet a lot of champions because there are questions I want to ask them. They were champions before ... I would like to know things like what kept them going, what keeps them on top," Bolt added.

Ali, a retired American boxer and three-time world heavyweight champion, is widely considered the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. He won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. As a professional became the first man to win the heavyweight championship three times. Ali, an excellent speaker, was also widely known for his quick wit and charisma which earned him fans all over the world.

sport's biggest

Like Ali, the charismatic Bolt has caught the attention of the track and field world, becoming the sport's biggest star in the last few seasons. The sprinter won the Olympic sprint double in world record times of 9.69 and 19.30. In Beijing last summer. He returned to lower those marks to 9.58 and 19.19, capturing the World Championships titles in Berlin earlier this year.

Despite all the success and some already considering him a legend the 24-year-old is hungry for more success.

"I would like to say that I did well, I came into the sport and I contributed to it...I want to say I did my best," Bolt said.

With the athlete already being compared to the likes of American legend Jessie Owens, who won a record four gold medals at the 1984 Olympics, there has been speculation that Bolt could attempt that feat at the London 2012 Games. However, the athlete is yet to confirm the rumours.

"I have never thought about it because I have done so great ... even though I have not won four gold medals, I have done great things, so it doesn't really matter but, for me, after the next Championships (Seoul Korea 2011) then I will worry about it, if I need to do anything else."
