    I read yesterday that Muhammad Ali was very poorly. This is taking into account his delicate health,anyway. Has anyone else heard anything ?

    I haven't heard anything but it doesn't surprise me. I saw a photo of him that was taken probably 3-4 years ago, and he looked positively terrible. Apparently he can't go out in public much anymore and is often transported via wheel chair.

    Hope Leon gets well, true warrior.With a better headset, could have been a contender for about 5 years tops.

    Scary to think he's 61 already. Hope he shows the same tenacity in hospital that he did against Ali.
