Greatest boxer endless landed like a butterfly? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ali
'greatest boxer' is the definition.
'Ali' can be an answer for 'boxer' (Muhammad Ali). I'm not certain of the 'greatest' bit.
'endless landed like a butterfly?' is the wordplay.
'endless' means to look at the middle letters.
'landed' becomes 'estated' (I've seen this in another clue).
'like a butterfly?' becomes 'li' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The middle of 'estated' is 'a'.
'a'+'li'='ALI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ali that I've seen before include "Son-in-law to Muhammad" , "Fourth caliph of Islam" , "Old fighter" , "Ringmaster" , "Cassius Clay became Muhammad ..." .)
