An absolute sporting icon and world figure.
I always admired his moral judgement in refusing to go to Vietnam. He served a lengthy boxing ban for it. Imagine what career he could have had if the boxing authorities hadn't bowed to political pressure |

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

Broke my heart this morning when I awoke to this.
As an avid boxing fan and former semi pro fighter myself who started his career whilst Ali was at the peak of his.
After his 3 year lay off for refusing to go to Nam I never missed a single fight sometimes sitting up with my dad to the wee hours.
Would often emulate him in the ring and often got chastised by referees for doing the Ali Shuffle when I should have finished off an opponent
Loved the guy to bits and his spiritual blessings were a joy to listen to.
May Allah bless you now Champ as you sit by his side.
The man, the myth, the legend the GREATEST
RIP CHAMP |

yep, he had some incredible quotes;
("Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam?")
("You're my enemy. My enemy is the white people!")
("I even divorced a woman… just because she wouldn't wear dresses long enough")
said things he felt were right to say.
