Muhammad Ali sadly has passed away at the age of 74 Considered by many as the greatest heavyweight of all time and probably the biggest name to pass away this year . A true legend and one of the most recognized faces on the planet Title: Re: R.I.P Muhammad Ali Post by: baldock92 on June 04, 2016, 07:07:38 AM He's one of those sporting figures whose name will never die. Even people who never saw him fight know he's the greatest of all time.

In my memory, he will always be dancing under those lights. RIP Mr Ali.

The commentary by Harry Carpenter when he won the rumble in the jungle is my all time favourite. What an inspirational guy, one of my childhood hero's. RIP Title: Re: R.I.P Muhammad Ali Post by: Kev B on June 04, 2016, 01:40:22 PM Legend, hero. RIP "The Greatest" Muhammad Ali.

I would have been the world’s greatest at whatever I did. If I were a garbage man, I’d be the world’s greatest garbage man! I’d pick up more garbage and faster than anyone has ever seen. To tell you the truth, I would have been the greatest at whatever I’d done!

I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times, who was humorous, and who treated everyone right. ‘As a man who never looked down on those who looked above him. ‘Who stood up for his beliefs… Who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love. ‘And if all that’s too much, then I guess I’d settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and a champion of his people. ‘And I wouldn’t mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.’ Title: Re: R.I.P Muhammad Ali Post by: TightEnd on June 05, 2016, 10:31:36 AM there have been some fantastic obituaries and op-eds since his death
