Muhammad Ali is in "grave condition" in a Phoenix-area hospital, a well-informed source tells NBC News, as the boxing legend continues to battle a respiratory condition.

The 74-year-old former heavyweight champion's family has gathered by his bedside just a day after he had been hospitalized in what spokesman Bob Gunnell said Thursday was to be a "brief" stay.

Wonder what Clay's Nation of Islam "spiritual leader" Louis Farrakhan would have to say about that? Hmmmm?

Bet I could whip him now. Maybe.

He was also one hell of a fighter..........ask Sonny Liston.

The Liston fight was fixed by the mob. Big money flooded the market for the younger Clay, changing odds from 5 to one to nearly even money after word got out that Liston would take a dive.

Liston had a long history with organized crime.

I don’t really care what he gave up or how good a boxer he was, he showed that his loyalty is to Islam (in his bizarre understanding of it) and not to America.

After fighting George Foreman in Zaire, Ali was asked what he thought about Africa. His reply, “Thank God my Granddaddy got on that boat.”

He was still a highly public traitor

Again untrue. He said Vietnamese did nothing to American blacks, which is true and thus partly the reason why he didn't want to be drafted.

It was the 60s, what did you expect?

Well, your request for people to be respectful has fallen on mostly deaf ears.

This can be an ugly place sometimes.

I had a friend that went with Fraiser to help him train for his rumble in the jungle with Ali.

He’ll end up where all muzzies end up. They never should have featured him at the Atlanta Olympics.

I think FR is a thing of beauty! Just because snowflakes like you don't like the free exchange of ideas doesn't make Free Republic ugly. If you don't like the "ugliness," I doubt I'm alone in my sentiment: leave.

Wow.

I have to say I’m a fan of Ali.

A muslim that refused to kill other people.

Too bad the rest of the idiotic muslim world don’t emulate him.

Great boxer. Nothing else good to say about him though.

I thought that the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ was Ali/Foreman in Zaire Africa, 1974?

Boxing is not an effective unarmed combat technique. I’m sure there are many freepers who would wipe the floor with any boxer.
