Despite being no fan of Boxing, I fully appreciate his enormous contribution to sport and the positive impact he had on the youth of the day. In my younger years I remember Cassius Clay was frequently talked of but, having changed his name and taken the world by storm, hardly a day went by when he wasn't in the news or the topic of positive conversation. A sad loss indeed.

Yeah this is a really sad moment for me, I find him inspiring and a great boxer in many ways, don't normally dwell to heavily on the death of celebs but this is a very sad day for me.

Rip Ali.

This is sad. He was one of the great personalities and inspirations of all time. He'll be missed the world over.

How true. Basically , other things came to a standstill for many when one of his fights was on.

Love that Cosell pic too, just so brazen for the day, yet refreshing!

I'm in Louisville, KY. for the next month or so. I will be attending his funeral services on Friday at the KFC YUM center. I will try and stop by his childhood home if I get the chance. Back in 1994, I landed here in the 'Kentuckiana' area (Kentucky/Indiana). I was a young Phlebotomist for a clinical Laboratory, and would travel to nursing homes, etc. to draw blood work on patients. One day, I arrived at a long term care facility, and happed to be drawing labs on a sweet elderly lady. She kept telling Me "God bless You, young man". Her name was Mrs. Clay. Yes! Mrs. Odessa Clay - Mother to the greatest. I was accompanied by the staff there who told Me I had just missed out on her Son Mohammed, and his entourage. I had just missed running into Ali by about 5-10 minutes. I remember thinking of the nervousness if He was there during My blood drawing on his Mother's arm, and I missed due to his watching Me. He probably would've punched Me out too. Haha..

Nice story Adam and yes you're lucky his presence was not there because if he was and you would have injected his mom in a wrong manner....... I think he would have taken that needle and injected you in the butt!!! :-D


Thanks Hisrudeness that's a nice photo of the Champ with our beloved purple one Prince!

Wow Adam that's pretty cool. Personally I think I'd be happy to say I got knocked out by Ali.

Better than getting my ear bit off by Tyson.
