The Greatest Hospitalised

Oh... Colin 'The Coward' makes threads in the Classic Forum, aye? I should expose your lies in here too, unless you pm me the truth

 

Don't be a ****. This is more than some dumbass internet rivalry. This is a man who got many of us into this sport possibly having his last few days on this earth.

This is bigger than you and you should treat it as such.

 

True that! Yeah it's sad to see how his body has deteriorated over the last few years. And you're right Ali has gotten most of us loving the sport of Boxing, and is the most Iconic figure in this great sport. The true GOAT of boxing.

 

Thank you for not posting what I expected.:thumbsup

 

Amen!

 

My all time hero probably in any sport.
I hope he's ok.

 

Yes I read about this in the paper today. Hope he's better soon.

 

Get well soon, Champ!

 

Knowing Ali, he's fighting right now way harder than he ever had to fight against Foreman. When most people are so quick to give up on small things in life, Ali has been fighting every minute, every day, just to say alive.

I saw him on facetime a few months ago. I told him "Forget Joe Louis, and Floyd Mayweather! You are the greatest of all time, and always will be!". And his expression changed. He started to look at me as if to say "You're not as dumb as you look!"

 

The least you can say for him is that he was the king of the second half of a century!

 

He was not only the boxing king of the 1900's. He was the king of all the athletes.

To go even further....If you look at his fame, his impact on culture and politcal issues, and his meteoric fighting career...he's quite possibly the most impactful human being of the 20th century.

 

Seems like it might just be his time. Im sure life has been a struggle for him over the past decades. Whether or not it is now, he has lived a life we could only dream of. Going to break out the career collection.

 

There's no better term for him than 'Greatest'.

 

Not sure on that, This is "Good or Bad" but I think I would put Hitler over Ali as the most impactful human being of the 20th century, since he did start a world war, and the Holocaust.

Not taking anything away from Ali, he is perhaps the icon of boxing. But I not sure I put him as the most impactful guy of the 20th century.

Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Stalin, Lenin, Perhaps Regan.
