    Muhammad Ali would have turned 80 years old today if he was still with us. What are your favorite memories of Ali?

    There will never be a fighter who topples Ali's legacy. He never once ducked a fight in his career. He cleaned out the Ring top 10 of his weight class for 2 decades straight. Beat ATG Sonny Liston twice. Beat Smokin Joe Frazier twice. Beat the unstoppable George Foreman in the classic Rumble in the Jungle. Beat 2x HW champ Floyd Patterson twice. Beat other great fighters like Norton, Bonavena, Quarry, Terrell, Young, Shavers, Lyle, Jones, Cooper.

    I'll bet he's keeping every one on their toes amongst the stars, with that wide cheeky grin and twinkle in his mischievous eyes.

    Rumble, young man, rumble.

    Not to mention Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Loads of great boxers share the Capricorn star sign. Foreman & Frazier. There's a shed load.

    Happy 80th Birthday To The King of HW Boxing. A great fighter, father & man of honour. He stood for freedom & against injustice in his time. A role model & blueprint for all mankind to follow & revere.

    I hope the champ chilling with Allah up there..probably having him in sticthes with his crazee humour Muhammad.

    I've alwas thought there is no HW in history I would favour over the Ali who beat Liston for the title.A pure blend of speed..foot and hand..reflexes on flick..damn near looked like a middleweight that night Muhammad.

    RIP Champ!!!
