Not going to go into much detail, but I actually know the guy who will be delivering his eulogy and he put the final touches on it last night.

He is indeed on life support, and will be taken off today.

Edit:

Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal and Bryant Gumbel will be speaking as well. Obama is a possibility.

Ali and Frazier been squashed that.

Ali Offers, Frazier Accepts Apology For Verbal Abuse

Chicago Tribune said:
When Muhammad Ali heard Joe Frazier's name mentioned Wednesday, he feigned deep sleep.

Then he apologized to the opponent he will forever be linked to, saying he was wrong to call Frazier an "Uncle Tom" and "too ugly to be the champ" 30 years ago, before the first entry in their boxing trilogy. The abuse continued into their third fight in Manila, where Ali likened Frazier to a gorilla.

The wound to Frazier's psyche was deep. In the ensuing years, as Parkinson's syndrome limited Ali's speech and mobility, he has evolved into an almost saintly, ethereal force, the controversies of his past forgotten as his fame expanded and he raised millions of dollars for charity. But Frazier has searched for wider renown and struggled to shed his bitterness.

Last week on the anniversary of his victory over Ali at Madison Square Garden, Frazier said, "Hey, man, just come on and give me a hug and let's get on with our lives."

During an interview in a Midtown Manhattan hotel suite Wednesday, Ali said, "In a way, Joe's right. I said a lot of things in the heat of the moment that I shouldn't have said. Called him names I shouldn't have called him. I apologize for that. I'm sorry. It was all meant to promote the fight.

"I like Joe Frazier," Ali said. "Me and him was a good show. It was a good traveling show."

Frazier embraced the apology.

"I accept that," he said in a telephone interview from Wildwood, N.J. "I'll accept it, shake his hand and hug him when I see him. We're grown guys. Why we been biting off bullets? We have to embrace each other. It's time to talk and get together. Life's too short."

Damn, it'll be a sad day when he does move on from this world

I don't think he gets enough credit for being who he was in the 1960's. I mean I'm thinking of the backlash he'd get now for some of the things he said and did, I can't imagine what it must've been like back then

Okay this part of your statement is just untrue. Ali was hated, absolutely loathed during this time.

He didn't become beloved by white people until he lost his voice, since he was now a silent Black man.
