The phrase is over used nowadays, but Ali was a true legend. The greatest sports star any of us will ever know. Such a shame what his sport did to a brilliant brain. RIP

Deserves his own thread really. An incredible bloke who was also a boxer. Sad day.

R.I.P 'The Greatest'

Remember getting up in the early hours back in the 1960's to watch, in black and white, Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston. Cassius Clay was a massive underdog but won easily. That was the start of the 'legend'. RIP.
