Thread: Sad Ali picture... Legend Deteriorating Dramatically in last 12 months

Ailing Muhammad Ali cuts a sad figure as he makes a rare outing-using a Zimmer frame to walk.
The three-time World heavyweight champion had to be helped by a pal as he arrived at a New York hotel.
Ali,64 has fought a 25-year battle against Parkinson's disease.
His condition is said to have deteriorated dramatically over the last 12 months.

Shocking pic and just one look at his eyes tell's you there is clearly no-one behind the wheel

there was talk of him being ringside for the wlad - brock fight as Laila Ali is on the undercard but cant see it happening judging by that photo

Yeah i'd be very suprised if he made it too.
Such a shame to that there's no known cure for Parkinson's disease

So, so sad to see such a maginficent athlete and vivacious personality reduced to this.

Though it breaks my heart to see him like this........He said in an interview once that he never wants anyone to feel sorry for him......

He said he has had a life that almost no one else can ever have and he is greatful for it all.........

Out of respect for one of my heros I refuse to look at him like a broken down man who suffers....

As far as I am concerned he is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe me if he wants to be at the fight he will be there. That is the one thing you can't take away from Ali, his determination to do what he sets out to do.

A bit rich coming from the man who has said many times he couldnt give a fuck about celebrity deaths or misfortunes

Bit of respect for the King wouldn't go amiss on this thread i reckon

I do respect Ali smashup its just X normally posts that he couldnt care less that some celebrity who means nothing to him has died.

So wandering why the difference for Ali?

Personally I do think it's a real shame, but then I also thought Steve Irwins death was a tragedy too

He had more balls than any man Ive Known He should be cherished

That is a saddening picture. Thats the thing with father time it waits for noone. And suffering from illness the overall picture looks even more dramatic....

He is indeed still a champ, no matter how weak he is looking...

To be honest Danny Williams usually looks the same whenever he fights, same vacant stare and aura of lifelessness :P

Ouch!!

If you wanna post like that then you should get over to my "Will Raleights return?" thread! :P

There is no need to mention the name Danny Williams on this thread. Most tasteless!!
