I know.. no worries buddy. all in good fun... but really. I suck at spelling. My wife teases me all the time:yep
I don't I'd ever cry but Erik Morales passing would be sad. The guy who really got me hard core into the sport. I Ali will be sad for everyone.
Would have been Ali, but I think we're all pretty prepared for that day by now. I think you would have to be in your 50's or at least late 40's to truly appreciate what an impact that man had. Pacquiao times 10. Maybe if you take how they feel about Pac in the Phillipines and multiply that worldwide. He was so huge and omnipresent that you felt like you knew him, and for people of my generation he was everybody's role model.
I wouldn't cry for any boxer. Though I'm not a cryer. Not cried since I was like 12. I'm so manly it's unreal. I bet you wish you were me. Yeah. I'd get pretty upset over a lot of boxers dying though. Hearns, Hagler, Ali, Frazier etc. The list goes on quite far. Not like I'm not going to leave my house and I'll go arounf dressed in black to mourn them just that it would probably put me in a real shitty mood.
I never cry...I can honestly say I haven't cried in about 10 years, if not more...but if Ali died...I probably would.
Mike Tyson.. Hmm Roy Jones.. I cried when Mike Tyson was beaten by Peter Mcneely. I knew then, it was over........it was over.
When Ali dies...just imagine how big it will be in the news...imagine the old black and white footage they'll show of him saying "I am the greatest!", and footage of him lighting the olympic torch in 1992...all of these accompanied by some sad music...I don't think ANY true boxing fan wouldn't feel a lump in their throats. "He was an icon inside and out of the ring...he stood up for what he believed in and inspired people all over the world. Muhammad Ali, considered one of the greatest athletes of all time...has died." Those are the words I can hear the reports saying, and just thinking about it makes me feel a little emotional.
It will be a tragedy, of course it will. It will be a dark and sad time when the great man goes. I won't actually burst into tears though, because I don't know him. I think it's pretty bizarre that you could grieve for a person you've never met. That's just me, fair enough if you feel differently.
