No link as yet. TV stations have broken to news that Muhammad Ali had died.
Yes
What do you disagree with?
He had the balls to fight Joe Frazier.
He can go be with Mohammad now.
death disproportionly targetting black people
And call him a "gorilla".
He also had Parkinsons.
I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
You or I don’t know what was in his heart or whether he asked for forgiveness near the end.
Let the dead rest in peace and pray for their souls.
“Is it un-PC to say “good riddance”?
-
Yes.
.
He's in for a big disappointment.
Yeah, probably.
I’m just going to set some stuff aside and say-
Goodbye, Champ.
he is making some shocking discoveries right about now....
R.I.P.
That there is no reason to continue the “discussion” of his passing in a previous thread that was posted about him being in intensive care for a serious condition.
RIP, Cassius Clay.
I didn’t agree with his politics, but I respected him. I’m sad.
shocked that he was only 74...he looked well beyond his age..
Here you go injecting race into it. :^)
HE was the greatest I listened to him brag and recite poetry over the radio of my dad’s Ford Fairlane 500.
Clay comes out to meet Liston and Liston starts to retreat,
if Liston goes back an inch farther he’ll end up in a ringside seat.
Clay swings with his left, Clay swings with his right,
Look at young Cassius carry the fight
Liston keeps backing, but there’s not enough room,
It’s a matter of time till Clay lowers the boom.
Now Clay lands with a right, what a beautiful swing,
And the punch raises the Bear clean out of the ring.
Liston is still rising and the ref wears a frown,
For he can’t start counting till Sonny goes down.
Now Liston is disappearing from view, the crowd is going frantic,
But radar stations have picked him up, somewhere over the Atlantic.
Who would have thought when they came to the fight?
That they’d witness the launching of a human satellite.
Yes the crowd did not dream, when they put up the money,
That they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny.
(Except I remember him saying “the launch of a black satellite”)
This will shock and amaze ya
but Ali will defeat Joe Frazia
I can see still Ali at the Olympics...taking those steps to light the torch. It was incredible. May he RIP.
Couldnt get Father Time to loosen the ropes for one last fixed fight.
Yep. And then praise "the honorable Elijah Muhammed" a dozen times for good measure.
