They throw the term legend around a lot about people these days but this guy really was one.
Given what he has had to deal with for the last number of years with his health he is finally at peace.

""Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons."  "

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see. Now you see me, now you don't. George thinks he will, but I know he won't." |

When will they ever have another fighter who writes poems, predicts rounds, beats everybody, makes people laugh, makes people cry, and is as tall and extra pretty as me? In the history of the world and from the beginning of time, there’s never been another fighter like me. Eat your words! Eat your words! I am the greatest.

Here's what Ali said when asked how he would like to be remembered...
"I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love, he took one tablespoon of patience, teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter, one pinch of concern, and then, he mix willlingness with happiness, he added lots of faith, and he stired it up well, then he spreads it over his span of a lifetime, and he served it to each and every deserving person he met."
RIP Ali - the greatest of all time! |

1 of my few heros. And not for any sporting reasons
He was a freedom fighter and fought for what he believed in and refused to fight for something he didn't
I can only imagine what he meant to black people in 60s America
Only for that horrible disease he would gone on to do great things as a leader
RIP the greatest |

The words great and legend are used so freely now but he was a living version of both, an icon in so many ways, the Vietnam war stance and tackling racism the way he did, an inspiration to all. And simply the greatest too.....RIP
Ok to cry Hal, thousands more no doubt are right now too, me included. We've lost the greatest. |

Watched a great piece on YouTube tonight when he compared his and his people's struggle, in America with the Irish people's struggle, true revolutionary, and he ended in a joke about how hurling and football was to rough for him, and he'd stick to boxing RIP the greatest |
