Muhammad ali. : Sat Jun 04, 2016 11:08 am  

Sad to hear of the death of my all time hero muhammad ali who in my humble opinion lived up to his billing of the greatest.As he said"I shook up the world" and he really did,not just a sporting hero a hero to millions all around the world for his contribution to life.
A sad day to all who loved and admired him,an inspiration to all. R.I.P champ.

Absolute horseshyte. He made a principled stance which many supported against another stupid war the US got involved in.

Too many legends gone this year already, it's really sad when bell ends like you attempt to draw attention to yourself by spouting dung.

His actions towards Joe Frazier were despicable. Takes away any "legend" status.

I admire his stance on the war though.

Absolutely agree about the Frazier thing a disgusting episode as a massive boxing fan I never liked Ali he didn't beat Liston the Mafia did but he was a good boxer but not the greatest

He pretty certainly beat Liston the first time and it was Liston who had got himself embroiled with the mob.

He apoligised to Smokin' Joe and Frazier accepted his apology.

A great and humble man, the likes of which we'll never see again.

I won't argue about others opinions of him, I respect everyone's views that disagree.

The Liston fight was a shame because it should have been one of the greats but because of the mob it didn't go that way he was a great character and self publicist I just don't think he was the greatest boxer only my opinion of course

He was an icon of sport, & fought against racism we have to admire that, some fights was corrupt/political as they are to this day, other sports are corrupt RIP champ.

What year was this? After Joe Fraziers kids got bullied at school and his family received deaths threats?

Or are you counting the newspaper apology?

Frazier gave Ali money and supported him when he was banned. Ali "repaid" him like this? Bs.
