The greatest legend in any sport Muhammad Ali has passed. A man who entertained fans in the ring, outside the ring and stood for more issues much bigger than boxing. He took a principled stand and thus lost his heavyweight title. They threatened to draft him to the Vietnam war but he stood firm. He spoke out for civil rights of black people. The authorities harassed him, bullied him and banned him but he stood firm

In the end he fought Parkinsons disease bravely for 30 years.

In 1974, the Zairois said "Ali Boma ye"
Now they will say "Ali kendeke malamu"

When I read that the family was asked to prepare for the worst, i knew it was time. Lets celebrate the WORLDS GREATEST. REST IN POWER MOHAMMED ALI



He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. -Muhammad Ali

I'm the greatest thing that ever lived! I'm the king of the world! I'm a bad man. I'm the prettiest thing that ever lived. -Muhammad Ali

Not only the Greatest sportsman ever, but one of the Greatest persons.
Boxing was a nothing before he arrived - watched only by true boxing fans.
With his showmanship he transferred it to millions of other non boxing people.
The current boxers should be grateful to Ali that he made the sport what it is today. A mega money making sport.
And don't forget what he did for the civil rights movement in the US.
A man of principles that stood up to his beliefs.
RIP GREAT man. We will ALWAYS remember you.

By risking the peak years of his boxing career out of principle, Ali is a bigger man than most of us ever will be.

Besides what pride is there in the crimes the Americans committed in Vietnam?

Showing the middle finger to the "man" is very conscientious. He refused to fight the enemy of his enemy and told of his enemy! it's very self explanatory - I am wondering why you cannot see it! The american government/state was actively discriminating on african americans and he let them know that he was not willing to die for them. He was not expendable nor was his life just good for dying fighting a war he does not understand.

I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home.

He clearly told them off!!
