Muhammad Ali, simply 'The Greatest', dead at 74
By Kevin Iole, Yahoo Sports | June 3, 2016

Muhammad Ali, the eloquent, colorful, controversial and brilliant three-time heavyweight boxing champion who was known as much for his social conscience and staunch opposition to the Vietnam War as for his dazzling boxing skills, died Friday. He was 74.
Once the most outrageous trash talker in sports, he was largely muted for the last quarter century of his life, quieted by a battle with Parkinson's Disease.

RIP Muhammad Ali the greatest, may Allah accepts him in his paradise.
He was a hero inside and outside the ring, he stood up for the black Americans and opposed the Vietnam war, and was stripped of his title and barred from fighting for 4 years in 1967.
There will never be another Muhammad Ali.
The Greatest in his own words:
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see."
"I'm the boldest, the prettiest, the most superior, most scientific, most skilfullest fighter in the ring today."
"If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologise."

I read that Muhammed Alii once asked if people would remember him.
Muhammed, yes. Yes we will. |
