    Admired him in and out of the ring. Rest in Peace.

    Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones,
    for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
    and hard to go by, say the wise. Katha Upanishad – 1.3.14

    Hehe, I liked Clay, if he went DownV instead of UP^, I'd hope he would get the devil in the ring and kick his azz. Rest in Peace Casius.

    I am somewhat a student of boxing having grown up with a dad who had been a boxer. I tried too, but was saving my face for shaving :-)

    Ali was the best ever..fast and heavy handed. Truth be known, he was also a great thinker and provoked a lot of thought by his style and decisions in and out of the ring. He may have been braver than many who criticized him.

    I wish we could have seen Ali vs Tyson, both in their prime.
    My money would be on Tyson but boy would it be a fight to remember
    Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

    Great boxer and quite a character. While being quite controversial, he stood by his convictions, backed them up, somewhat.
    Interesting man for the times, love him or not, to be respected and mourned, RIP

    I rest my case.
