Yahoo! reported his family gathered at his bedside as things looked bleak so it was expected just not this quick. Respiratory failure it seems to be the cause. Cassius Clay even if playing a character to sell tickets was the greatest of his sport.

Wow, weird. For some reason I had no idea he was still alive and thought he died years ago.
|
Terrible, terrible news.
|
So long champ. I don't regret losing a single second of the hours and hours I've spent watching your old fights and interviews. Especially with Howard Cossell. In my mind, you will forever be talking trash and knocking out George Foreman when pretty much everyone else had written you off.

RIP, champ, one of the greats of boxing up there with Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jack Johnson, Ray Robinson, Jack Dempsey, and Harry Greb. He change boxing, and really brought it back in the limelight that was not seen since the heyday of Jack Dempsey.

Thank you, Mr Ali.
You will already be the greatest. |
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Not only did you change the game, you changed the industry You knocked down titans, and exhausted beasts Barely broke a sweat, to say the least You shook up the world, in and out the ring Started off as a prince, re-christened as a king The inventor of confidence, proclaiming you can't be beat With a smile on your face, and a shimmy of your feet From Liston to Holmes, to Foreman and Smokin' Joe You held that belt high, and never let it go Never mind not going to war, when the real war was within You got knocked down plenty times, only to rise up again Not even Parkinson's could stop you, you battled for victory Punching and dodging your way into history So fast, so pretty, so full of bliss Making chumps mad every time they miss Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee Death won't even stop you, and that's a decree The Greatest Of All Time, G-O-A-T Rest In Power, Cassius Clay, aka... Muhammad Ali. |

Never saw him in the ring since I'm no boxing fan, so whenever his name comes up this interview of him is what springs to my mind:
|
Tragic loss. RIP :(

So sad. He was on life support according to the news yesterday. Did they take him off, I wonder? A terrible loss to the world of sports and especially boxing. He will be remembered.

They actually considered Ali to play Superman in what became the Richard Donner classic.
|
Storyline
What's the storyline of that comic book with Muhammed Ali and Superman boxing each other?
|
Very saddened to learn of his passing. A true pioneer, icon and legend! RIP and I know he's floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee in heaven! Maybe even wrestling/boxing Gorilla Monsoon!
