Muhammad Ali: sounds like this is it, guys....

I just hope he repented and accepted Jesus as Savior before he passed away...ray:

R.I.P.

 

Fuck Jesus, RIP The Greatest

 

RIP

Ali will live on as long as the memory of him does. As long as there is a person who has been influenced by Ali, one who has seen his fight tapes or enjoys the increased acceptance that Ali's work has caused, he will live on. I believe that is as long as the mankind lives

 

RIP The Greatest. Sad news.

Ugo already touched on it but he is one of those rare individuals who genuinely will never be forgotten. One of a kind.

 

RIP GOAT

"I saw George Foreman shadowboxing. His shadow won."
- Muhammed Ali

 

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it—then I can achieve it."

Muhammad Ali. You can put this on a poster in your bedroom. Very inspirational.


Some more Muhammad Ali quotes:


“If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.”

"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even."

"I'm so mean, I make medicine sick."

"I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked."

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”

“If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.”

“I’ve wrestled with alligators. I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning. And throw thunder in jail.”

"Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong."

"It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."

“Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you're going to be right.”

RIP the greatest/best heavyweight that ever lived and the most influential sportsman who ever lived. Also, arguably the most influential black American who ever lived.

 

My personal tribute to THE greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali

The Greatest, in and out of the ring, the legend, my childhood hero. For Almost 20 years he was the most famous man in the world.

Intelligent fighter, intelligent man.

Coming back at age 32, when he could no longer dance for 15 round and without his much vaunted defensive skills, and knocking out the formidable George Foreman is perhaps the greatest single achievement by any fighter ever.

Ali of 1964 to 1967 (when he was unjustly forced into boxing exile) was the best fighter ever and unbeatable.

May he rest in peace.

 

2016: ´The Year Of Death´

 

It has been a REALLY fucked up year in that sense.

 

And we´re only half-way through...

 

I did a bit of reading about Ali, and it turns out that this common myth of his Irish connection being slave-owners is all bullshit.

His greatgrandfather married a free black woman and their son's grand-daughter was Odessa Grady, who married Mr Clay

West Coast of Ireland can therefore lay claim to Cooney, Tunney, and Ali, a contender and two champs from within a few hundred miles of each other.

:bears:

As for Ali, I've seen these respiratory cases and I just hope they made him comfortable at the end.

I don't agree with a lot of the myths- none of them perpetrated by Ali- bar one.

Ali tortured Tyrell and was rightly stripped of his CO status.

But the Vietnam War was bullshit, so Hey-Ho.

Ali would NOT have beaten every HW Champ who came after him or even BEFORE him.

But he was one of the bravest toughest SOB's of all time and probably the SMARTEST in the ring.

When Ali was doing his stupid Black Power thing {and Boxing was robbing him :nono:} , he still honoured boxing by referring to the fact that he was the real champ with the real belt and pointed out that Marciano and Tunney were part of that lineage. He didn't fuck around in that regard.

He wasn't a race hater and todays BLM nincompoops could learn a thing or two in that regard.

Ali DID RIGHT by people even when they had done wrong by him. Drew Bundini Brown selling Ali's belt being a good example. Ali beat his ass but forgave him and kept him in employment.

That's something kids today could LEARN from.......Ali doled out his own punishment but kept the man in a job and looked after his wellbeing. That's rare today where people are all about getting the man hurt, fired, shamed.

:bears:

Ali verbally honoured Quarry because Quarry gave him a high profile meaningful return to boxing when Ali was bad news. Ali never forgot or overlooked these things.

These are small observations, but they mean a lot.

 

I always regarded 9 as an unlucky number. I am not really superstitious but accumulative years ending in 9 are bad shit.

 

RIP to one of the all-timers... Proved everything you can prove.

 

Shocked and sad

 

RIP a true GOAT....fought everyone he needed to fight...didn't leave a stone unturned....win or lose. :bears:

 

How great was Ali? Even Ali's sparring partner became a hall of fame HW champion!

 

I can't believe this. THE Greatest is gone!

 

That was a truly bruising era.

Norton, Ali, Frazier, Lyle and Quarry all suffered post-career traumas of one sort or another.

Patterson likewise.

 

The way he treated Joe Frazier was genuinely unpleasant and it is easy to understand why Joe hated him. But that's a discussion for another day. The most influential boxer of all time, a man who absolutely transcended the sport we all love, has gone, and it's a shame. RIP.
