In his 75th year, Ali has passed from this mortal realm. He was a hero for me growing up. Not that he didn't suffer major faults, but he was almost always a man of grace outside the ring, so often employing wit and humor to expose truth. Ali's character stands in stark contrast to the hostile activism we see today. He was a Muslim who truly was a man of peace. | ||

When asked how he'd like to be remembered, Ali answered as follows: I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times. | ||

+1000. Mr. Ali was The Greatest, for many more reasons than just being the best boxer. I remember when he carried the torch for one of the more recent Olympics... his Parkinson's was pretty bad, but he did the deed with dignity and grace nonetheless. RIP, floating like a butterfly now. | ||

Here's hoping he and Joe Frazier have finally settled their differences |
