cant believe there isn't a thread for this.

one of the greatest sportsmen ever, let alone being probably the greatest boxer in living memory. Ali was a gentleman and a professional; a fabulous ambassador for boxing and sport in general. a truly unique individual, a genuine legend.
RIP Cassius, you were The Greatest.

Wot he said ^^^^^^^

Absolutely seconded. And more than that, also as a person and in his political standing Muhammed Ali was one of a few in his time,
a true legend. It should take a while to find someone like that nowadays ... My condolences go above all to his family, and to
his daughter in particular ... a man like this will never be forgotten.
R.I.P., Mohammad Ali ... ...

i hadn't heard that one.

As a boxing fan, I will remember him forever. I'm just 22, but he was one of my heroes. A true rebel, a true sportman, a true legend... he was also a poet!

Here is one of his non-boxing poems, about a prison massacre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNrNpw7hmcE

Float like a butterly, sting like a bee Champ! You'll never be forgotten.

//and a song from one of my best friends (also a true TSOM fan) dedicated to Muhammad Ali: The Revenge of Muhammad Ali http://www.audiomack.com/song/ali-ece/m ... nin-ntikam#

Ali was that type of sportman that showed that muscles and strenght are not enough so reach true success in sport.
Taking his conditio his last fight was very long.
