    Does anyone have any info on the latest on the greatest???

    I read somewhere a while ago that he was down to around 180lbs and had to walk with a stick and be helped out of chairs etc....there was even a suggestion that he wasn't long for this world. This was in an English tabloid though so it might be bull****. Has anyone here seen or heard of him recently??

    I saw a picture of him in the local Michigan newspaper when our Governor was running for re-election. He didn't look well at all in the face. The picture showed him sitting down, and I couldn't see his build or anything.

    MUHAMMAD ALI IS DEAD.

    Those will be the words of every newspaper upon Ali's death.

    Last picture I saw of him a few months back, he was using a zimmer frame to walk from a car to cross the sidewalk into a building. Very sad business.

    Last time i saw him was when Laily Ali fought on the undercard of Wlad-Brock. He looked very bad. A very disturbing sight that shows the dark side of boxing.

    I seen a picture of him not too long ago in the paper and you could tell from looking at it that the great man hasnt long left. Tragic stuff.

    no way, not a phrase like that. dead is too disrespectful of a word. i don't read the paper much but no one ever uses that word to describe a death NOT involving a crime or tragedy. you'll see it for "3 children found dead in arson" etc but if someone dies a natural death - dead is not the word. don't know why i argued on such a trivial point but it's true. :D
