May he rest in piece. been a hell of a year, all these long standing celebs leaving us, it really was a golden generation of true celebrities that have dominated their respected fields. We don't have many new celebrities appearing with such stature or presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I loved him since I was a little kid. I was always angry for the decision that took 3,5 years of his great career when he was at his best. The world of boxing lost so much in and out of the ring for thar decision. I will always consider him as the greatist. RIP ALI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loweman2 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 RIP a true legend, not just of boxing or sport in general but a man who changed views and opinions in the face of great torment just for his skin colour !

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 LEGEND!!! This word is used to much in many cases, but for you Mr. Clay/ Mr. Ali this word is an absolute understatement. The word "LEGEND" should have a picture of you next to it as a true definition of the meaning of the word. The world and all of us on it has been enriched by your presence. May you R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just seen two of his quotes on SSN, I'm so mean I make medicine sick, and It's hard to be humble when you are as great as I am. He wasn't being conceited, he was just telling it as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 A Great boxer, one of the best. Elevated the sport and did just as much out of the ring. Very clever guy 'Ive wrestled with allagators, ive tussled with a whale, ive done handcuffed lightening thrown thunder in jail, you know im bad, just last week i murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick, im so bad i make medicine sick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t'oldu Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 He fought so many causes outside the ring over the years when Champions were very much needed. Never afraid to stand by his beliefs . He earned and deserved so much respect both within and outside the world of boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilkleyram Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 This is the bit about growing older (or up) that I don’t enjoy. The death of important parts of your life. In 1964 I listened to a scratchy radio broadcast of the Sonny Liston fight from America late at night when I should have been in bed asleep; feeling let down by his refusal to fight in Vietnam only years later to work out that he was right; the first Muslim in my consciousness; rushing home from the pub to watch the fights and the Parkinson interviews; the Rumble in the Jungle and Thrilla in Manilla; three different world championship titles at times when the opposition was significant and there was only one belt, one world champion, no cheap titles; the beauty of the man and his mouth, especially in the early days, later the sheer bravery and finally the stupidity to carry on beyond the time he should have stopped. Like only the very great sportsmen, rather than the over hyped, his name became a byword - ‘Ali’ was only one person - as Nicklaus or Bradman, maybe Messi or Ronaldo Brave and brilliant and dazzling in the ring, brave out of it in standing up for his beliefs when it would have been easier not to. So many memories. A colossus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 RIP Muhammad Ali, only his fight outside of the ring eclipses what he achieved inside the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
