Muhammad Ali was a behemoth who left behind a legacy of success and perfection. Following in those footsteps is not something everyone can accomplish. But defining all odds, his own daughter, Laila Ali, made that happen. The now-retired professional boxer did not just continue Ali’s legacy, but she did it with an undefeated record. That’s not all! Her undefeated record extends to parenting as well.

However, her most notable contribution to Ali’s legacy was her rivalry against Jacqui Frazier-Lyde (daughter of Joe Frazier). It took Ali three legendary bouts to come out as the better fighter, but Laila proved her supremacy in just one. Today, Laila is a popular name in the boxing community. She is a role model for countless women and girls across the globe. But Laila’s favorite fan is her daughter, Sydney J. Conway, who recently took a family trip with her mother. The pictures from that trip have the fans in awe.

Another user commented, “Whoa- that is clearly not her first side eye.” Similar to other comments on the post, this user also thinks Laila’s daughter is annoyed by the selfie.

While other users pointed at Sydney being annoyed by the selfie, one user made an interesting analogy. The comment from the user stated, “She has her grandpa stare.” But that perhaps runs in the family.

However, this user had a slightly different take on the selfie. The comment from the user read, “Omg, the apple does not fall far from the tree!!! I know that look …. so you lol.” The user seemingly thinks even Laila has had similar expressions in the past.
