    Default Muhammad Ali has died at 74

    http://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/m...cb3c293e83dbc2

    Muhammad Ali, the silver-tongued boxer and civil rights champion who famously proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and then spent a lifetime living up to the billing, is dead.

    Ali died Friday at a Phoenix-area hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications, a family spokesman confirmed to NBC News. He was 74.

    "After a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening," Bob Gunnell, a family spokesman, told NBC News.

    RIP, used to love watching him. There will never be another one like him.
    Bill Williamson:

    "The Broncos went from one of the more attractive organizations in the NFL to one in total disarray. McDaniels will go down as one of the most reviled figures in Denver sports history".

    damn, this sucks. . . that dying sport will never produce another icon of his magnitude. . . he was a force in our culture as much as in the ring. . .

    RIP the greatest fighter of all time!

    If you read only one thing about #MuhammadAli, read what he wrote in his memoir about how he wanted to be remembered

    I'm not sure sports will ever produce an icon like him.

    This. Not just boxing, but sports in general. Imagine if Ali were in his prime today, the legend would be 10x more with how much we'd see, hear, know, etc.

    Very sad to hear this. Loved him as a boxer, even more for what he did for mankind.

    Weird how he gets no hate for being a draft dodging pinko and Islamic convert.
