The Greatest!

I was never into boxing but I watched all his fights as a youngster, he drew people to the sport that previously had not had any interest in it.

An amazing character that stood out at a time when the world was full of great characters ( unlike nowadays).

Said it many times this year sadly, the world is a poorer place without Ali.

RIP

I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick.

I just loved his whole thought process when it came to training. He used to run backwards because that's how he fought. A genius and a legend and the world is poorer without him in it.

RIP champ. You will always be the greatest.

Not many used to run upwards of 10 miles backwards like Ali did though.

Lovely character with a great sense of humour.

He is really a legend.

There never was or will be another sportsman who caused millions to set their alarms and get up at 3am to either watch his fights on a grainy black and white TV or listen on the radio. Such was the power of the guy !
Young people use the word legend for someone who scores a hat trick or has a couple of hit songs!
Ali was the only true world legend !
RIP...Ali
