    Ali was the athlete of the last century, the most famous man on the planet who brought non fight fans into boxing ..... Hugely charismatic, funny, the epitome of grace under pressure when in the ring and in Angelo Dundee's words "the toughest sunuvabitch I ever trained"

    I hope not, but the referees count has been on about 7 for a while now.

    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    I remember reading that in a study done around 2000 or so, Ali was still the most recognizable face on earth! Not hard to believe really, if you go back a generation or two, everyone knew who he was. If I had to guess, only Pele could have possibly been more popular worldwide in the 20th century.

    I don't find his nearing death any more sad than the shape he's been in for the last 15+ years is. For someone who was such a powerful and charismatic figure to lose their faculties so steadily, I doubt he wouldn't have rather gone much sooner, given the choice.

    Muhammad Ali

    The world's most recognized athlete from 1900 thru 1999, with the help of the Media {Television}.

    Let's leave it at that.

    No, let's not. Put your money were your mouth is. WHO (in your biased opinion) is the biggest athlete of the last century?

    We live in an age where I can instantly talk to morons like you from halfway around the world, everything is recorded and shared by billions. There isn't an athlete alive today bigger internationally than Ali was FIFTY years ago... Before colour TV was widely available. No internet, primitive TV networks

    Why?

    They've been saying the end is near for Ali for ages I heard Laila Ali had tweeted denying it . She said he was OK. I hope that's true because after the birth of my 2 lovely daughters my happiest moment was when I got to meet shake hands & chat to my idol Muhammad Ali. He took the time to chat with me I was like a kid in a candy store. He was quiet just a real nice guy. As soon as word got round he was there & the crowd came he went back to the Ali everyone expects to see.
    For me Muhammad Ali is, was & always will be THE GREATEST!!! in and out of the ring
    God Bless Muhammad

    I may be one of the few who respect him tremendously for skipping the draft and doing what he thought was right no matter the cost.
