The greatest of them all.
Muhammad Ali has died at the age of 74.
Meanwhile….
September 1, 2009
Ali leaves Turnpike Road in Ennis, County Clare, the location of the birthplace of his great grandfather Abe O’Grady. Earlier he had been made the first Freeman of Ennis.

The world is an uglier place this morning

There’ll never be another like him.

McGregor surely?
This is no time for sarcasm.

Float like a butterfly Ali. RIP

He was beautiful
That VF cover with him roped in and shot with arrows is a masterpiece
All the best lad
Esquire magazine, not roped in. It’s not a great cover.
Why would you choose the ‘bomaye’ chant to commemorate the man? One of the greatest figures of the 20th C, but the run up to the Foreman fight was ugly.
But apart from all that nice tribute Frilly!
“…Man, I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong. No Vietcong ever called me nigger.”
Waitress – “We don’t serve black people ”
Ali – “Good cause I don’t eat them”
he never actually said this, its a paraphrasing.
“My conscious won’t let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn’t put no dogs on me, they didn’t rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father… Shoot them for what? …How can I shoot them poor people, Just take me to jail.”
Sorry, just watching the BBC tribute show about Ali – he did say it – on The Parkinson Show!
The greatest and most charismatic sportsman that ever lived. My final living hero has left the building.
Christ, 2016…What the füpp?
RIP Ali :(
The best sporting photograph of all?

Always loved that photo. Toss up between that and the visceral one of him standing above liston
Incredible picture.
Due to the mans nature, this is the biggest blow in 2016 so far.
RIP The Greatest.

Eternal Rest Champ.
Parkinson 1971, a philosophy of despair: https://youtu.be/S1Y693cSF7E
And just look at the person who uploaded it to YouTube: the worlds best boxer attacks Anti-White. Fantastic!
I remember getting up in the early hours, tuning in and listening to his fights. Great times, great man. RIP.
I remember my dad (RIP) doing the same thing. My dad was always shouting for Ali during fights ever since Ali met Eddie Keher in Dublin. RIP.
A touching tribute from Billy Crystal.

A true champion whose like will never be seen again. Probably a merciful release for such a vital, powerful man, although the world is the poorer for it.
Believing in Islam (or any other religion) isn’t very great.
It doesn’t show much intelligence.
