Hopefully its rumors.

Unfortunately his passing was announced on CNN after midnight Eastern Standard time in the US.

If you never believed in the Devil before in your life, but watched as Muhammad Ali, who boasted himself as too fast, too pretty, who others labelled him as "The Mouth of the South" and "The Louisville Lip", at the end of it all become reduced to a shell of a man who couldn't speak, couldn't move and body started to crumple over right before our very eyes, then you would not only believe in the Devil now but you would also know that the Devil's tool was cruel irony.

God bless Ali. What he did for Black people and people of colour of our generation could only be matched by the likes of MLK, Pele, Malcolm and Mandela.

He not only helped us to have dignity. He gave us a right to express our beliefs no matter the persecution and no matter the penalties, because that right of expression and idea is what truly makes us valuable assets to this human race.

He had his faults, like all people do. But his faults were as a result of the time he was born into, and not because the material of his humanhood was any less faulty. If born in 1980, Ali would have the same principles for different causes and then some, because now in this era we know better and know more!

I look around today, and there ain't many like him left. PERIOD. Black, White, Asian, Hispanic. He is truly the last of a good crop.

I second that. Ali is THE GREATEST display what pride does to men,

first it lifts you up, allows you to get more punches than humanly possible, get up when others would be dead already, but sooner or later it demands its price back ...

Very sad to hear that Ali has now passed and joined Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, and Ron Lyle.

Wasn't long ago I would watch their fights on ESPN Classic and there was a certain comfort knowing that all were still alive.

I sit here in my chair on a sad day the Greatest has past away, he gave us charisma a modern Champion.
We new this day was coming but it's still a shock RIP float like a butterfly and sting like a bee Muhammad Ali.

What the government did to this man was inhuman.... Nobody says a damned word about the professional football players who dodged the draft. But Muhammad was different

Howard Cosell on Ali.


When asked what kind of person was Ali, Cosell responded: At a dinner with him, I exused myself to go to the restroom. Later that evening my wife said as soon as I got up, Ali leaned toward her with that Ali smile and said. ..."You still with that old man?"

Cosell sat back, grinned and said...... that's the kind of person. Al....li.....was.
