Great boxer, great entertainer, great man.

Quote from the BBC website

Quote:
Asked how he would like to be remembered, he once said: "As a man who never sold out his people. But if that's too much, then just a good boxer. I won't even mind if you don't mention how pretty I was."

Very sad
I remember being woken up in the early hours of the morning so that I could listen to his fight's on the radio with my dear old dad.
RIP

Rest in peace Mr. Legend! Mohammmad Ali, a sportsman of outstanding ability and charisma. Luckily for me, I can remember his boxing prowess, the dancing, the humour and the skill.

Outside the ring he was wonderful in interviews and as an ambassador for Sport as a whole.

In the last few years he was affected by Parkinson's disease and it was sad to see.

Hopefully now he is dancing again, not necessarily resting, but entertaining in his own inimitable fashion.
