Default Muhammad Ali is dead

Muhammad Ali dies at age 74, family spokesman says

Weird, just a couple of days ago I was thinking "hey, that guy is still alive...".
I should stop that.

Default Mohammad Ali dead at age 74

He passed away after being hospitalized with respiratory problems. He has been fighting Parkinson's disease for years. May he rest in peace.

RIP to a sports giant. I don't think we'll ever see his like again.

Damn, had a horrid feeling I'd wake up to that news when I saw on twitter last night that he'd been put on life support.
A giant of a character, and a damn fine fighter, RIP Ali.

Aye, when you showed me that tweet I had the same feeling.

"Oh let not Time deceive you,
you cannot conquer Time."


One of the very greatest of his sports.

And one of the loudest.

He was a giant and IMO the last of the universal heroes.

Can't hear mention of Ali, without thinking of the voice of Howard Cosell at the same time. Together again, RIP to both.

Remember as a kid how much impact he had on sports and life, it was always a big thing to watch an Ali fight on TV.

By far the most interesting sports figure of my lifetime. He was the greatest.
