    Default Muhammad Ali is dead...

    Sitting at the bar and just learned this sad news. May the greatest who ever lived rest in peace.

    Before I play handball, there is a poster of him in the locker room to inspire me for every match.

    Oh no! I remember the fights between him and Joe Frazier. He had a big mouth but the difference between him and other big mouths was he could back it up. RIP Cassius Clay!!!

    He was a class act, especially for someone who made his living being larger than life.

    He visited our school when I was 15 years old, a real character. Brilliant boxer.

    RIP Cassius.

    He was The Greatest, may he rest in peace.

    He is well remembered here in Canada for having fought a great battle in the ring with George Chuvalo at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, who danced with The Greatest for the distance.

    He really was a game changer and a great talent in so many ways, there will never be another like Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali.....The Greatest, who danced like a butterfly and stung like a bee.

    Boy I wish I was alive when he was in his prime. An amazing athlete to say the least.

    May he rest in piece.

    Cassius Clay may have been a adequate boxer, but when it came time for him to show he was a real man, in my opinion he was a coward as a man. He refused to answer the call to protect our country. He was convicted for it too, the Vietnam war had it's problems but each man should answer that call when our country ask for help in a military war that is every man's duty and in my opinion he was a coward, if that is his conscious objection than his conscious is wrong in my opinion.
