30 of Muhammad Ali's best quotes
A great boxer and a good poet of sorts. Just thinking about the connections between Muhammad Ali and my parents' old bridge partner and my sometimes help with my 224 613 Project Mills Lane-- Referee Mills Lane: Still Fighting At Age 78 |

Sad to see him pass. He was very gifted, both intellectually and physically. He just stayed in the ring too long. RIP.

A good man who some, considered controversial!
A great fighter! I was always sad to see him in later years, just a shell of himself. I like to remember him, when he was vibrant. RIP - Muhammed

Keith Olbermann is one of our more gifted sports essayists. Like most of his work it is a bit about Keith, but he ties it all together with a wordsmith's bow, how Ali impacted Keith and how Ali impacted the world. Well worth a couple minutes to read.

Think about the lost World War II years for real heroes like Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, etc. They answered the call. Not like this egotistical bigmouth. Another thing, he wasn't the greatest, just the loudest. |

I'm met him in the 90s. His issues with Parkinson's was very evident at that time. So sad.

Vietnam was very different from WWII that's true. Also in the ways that African-Americans fought in it. |

A friend of mine whom I served with won golden gloves ( heavy weight) in Kentucky twice. He sparred with Clay back then in the Portland section of Louisville. Dennis told me that Clay's brother was a better boxer from a technical standpoint but Clay had the killer instinct.
