He was a boxer; an incredibly disciplined and fit..."killing" machine. Yet he was the greatest fighter for peace and harmony. It's a simple dichotomy but such a big part of why his whole life is so remarkable. :wow:

And then you figure in the primal nature of his trash talk :wow:

Dodging them punches :wow:

Standing over Liston infuriating cacs everywhrre :wow:

:wow:

Not sure if there has been or will be another athlete that could entertain a room like Ali. Dude had a personality like no other:wow:

Never.

He was more than just an Athlete.

What Athlete now would do what he done, said what he said. None of them.

Rarely men in history are like him let alone athletes.

Damn it's sad.

So much charisma, wit, wisdom and the irony was he got parkinsons and couldn't use what made him so famous - his mouth.

Damn there can't be no God to do this to such a great man.
:mjcry::damn:

Wow, RIP to a legend like everyone else has said.

I'm not going to take a direct shot at anyone but I just wanted to make an observation.

Guys like ALI, Jim brown, kareem and bill Russell were cut from a different cloth. There was so much direct and overt racism back in the 50-70s that black athletes had to stick together and speak up on injustices and what they believed in even though it wasn't popular, it took courage to do that.

I'm saying that to say I wish a guy like Jordan stood up that way but he was and will always be a proud capitalist and dudes still line up, camp out, and go to four different malls filling out raffle tickets for his shoes every week. Jim brown and others called him out it his silence that plagued the black community but he didn't give a damn. Jordan can't stop bullets or crime but imagine a guy like him actually going into the streets of Chicago and talking to the youth. I think it would have a such a resounding effect.

The thing I always admired about ali is that it wasn't about the money, he used his fame and wealth of knowledge to his people. I wish more athletes used their influence for that and I hope some of today's biggest and brightest black stars study ali's life and continue on his path of using their fame to help spread knowledge and help the youth.

Agree. Very few men like that was this earth.
