Muhammad Ali the Greatest RIP Legend

[johnsebastianmiran]

He brought freshness to an old sport and made it new again changing the face of boxing and leading others to stardom. Where it was gloomy he made it fun and just when everything seemed normal again there is a vacancy in the world where he used to live. One of the hardest things for any man to do is hold his dignity enduring dark times but he made it to the light. All the years that have past since he accomplished what he dreamed of they still call out his name and that was a dream come true. Blessings to you. There was always more than what met the eye.

Talking about him just yesterday at work, we were saying how he's done well to live with the parkinsons for as long as he did, I said then that he didn't have long left.

I also watched my old Ali boxset just last night in preparation.

It's a shame and a big loss but it wasn't unexpected

Ali was an amazing fighter and had an ability to think outside the box that I respect. He was one of those few fighters that could really make you think and even if you disagreed with him, you at least had to respect him for what he achieved in the ring.

The man who created the "superfight". . It's tough to argue that anyone could have embodied the 60s and 70s better than Ali, he was as famous as the Beatles, James Bond etc I don't really know what to say....IMO he was a great man.

Nothing much I can add or say that hasnt been already.

Loved Ali a long time before I loved boxing

Was very upset when I saw the news this morning

The Greatest

[Master]

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah reads his 'Ode to Muhammad Ali', a tribute to 'The Greatest' as the former three-time world heavyweight champion is buried on Friday.

Tens of thousands of people are set to say a final farewell to Ali in his home city of Louisville in Kentucky.

The heavyweight champion and rights activist died last Friday aged 74.

A procession will take Ali's body past key sites in his life, ahead of an interfaith memorial service.

Actor Will Smith and ex-boxer Lennox Lewis will be among the pallbearers, while former President Bill Clinton will deliver one of the eulogies.
