Can't say I was ever a big sports fan, but I certainly knew who Ali was. Later dude. https://media.giphy.com/media/HwmB7t7krGnao/giphy.gif

Humans also used to live in caves. I think we're beyond that.

SMACK!

Let's try and keep debates out of this thread and act with respect to the great man.

Cassius Clay died many many years ago. Muhammad Ali died several years later. The man that died last night/today was not either of those men because of how scrambled his brain had become. He was a shell just continuing life for no real reason at all except to be alive. My mother-in-law was the same way due to strokes. However, we are all saddened by the loss of the physical form of a great boxing legend. You can put the gloves down, Mr. Ali. You're home.

Rest in Peace. You sad excuse for a human being.

Rest in Peace, Real Apollo Creed. :(

The thing that made Muhammed Ali worth remembering was not (only) that he was a great boxer, but because he used his fame for good. He worked against racism (sadly scumbags like ShadowAngel.207 still exist :( ), and for social equality, he worked against war. While he would fight for show, as a sport, he said that he never wanted to hurt someone who had done him no harm.

Wait.... Gandhi is dead? Why isn`t that in the newspaper?
Okay, someone whose job was beating other people black and blue died, and is celebrated.
Someone died who told the people not to beat each other up and there`s nothing? Well, maybe that`s the reason for all the wars on earth. Mankind simply just loves war and hates peace.

I suppose that with all the health issues he was facing, he finally got to rest.
Still sad to see such a great athlete and great man go, more so as a mere shadow of himself.

RIP

Again, you don't know what you are talking about.

Ali was a boxer by trade yes, but calling him just a boxer is like calling Jesus Christ just a carpenter.

I respect the man a whole lot although his view on racism would be frowned upon today, can't say I completely disagree with him.

Duuuude, he was born in1869 how long do you want people to suffer on this earth?

I know. But it`s interesting to see how fascinated mankind is by violence. Not even artificial violence like in games, but also real violence, enspecially in so called "sports".
But I don`t have anithyng against Cassius Clay, he took the only way that he could take to get fame and money. He began hisa career when being black meant to be something like being Stone Age Neanderthaler.
R.I.P. Cassius Clay. Good thing is, Parkinson can`t bother you anymore.

I assume you don't know much about Muhammed Ali?

And why call him Cassius Clay? It was his choice to become, live, and die as Muhammed Ali.
