The great one, among the most important sports figures of my youth, a true champion and a super human being.
Truly a loss and sure to be eulogized.
Many famous folks dying this year. He was one hell of a boxer in his day. And a class act of his own.
“I’m so fast I can turn out the light and be in bed before it’s dark.” Vale, Mohammad Ali.
Yeah, it’s sad that had Parkinsons’ disease and lived with it for years! He painted for a while, it’s too bad that he wasn’t able to fully express himself with it as this was what he did for therapy, and not for a living. Who knows what else he could’ve been had it not been for the disease, or the effects it had on him as it ravaged his body. I remember a lot of things he said. He was truly a character with a lot of colourful and poignant things to share with the rest of the world. Truly a rare bird indeed! He will be sorely missed by a lot of people.
