Ali Losing Battle!!

I read stories and saw interviews where Dundee said he was taking what Ali told him were vitamins and they were actually pills for the disease he has today. he was still fighting with the disease he has right now for god knows how long he had been diagnosed and kept on fighting. That disease kills all your motor skills and he was still fighting while he had it.....Lefty Yep all you have to do is watch interviews before his last two fights, its clear to see that the disease was present. What a warrior he was.

that is disheartening. poor guy. it is such ashame.

ali is the greatest athlete to me

Very few people in this world achieve greatness. He is one of them. Greatness always comes at a dear cost just look what he ahd to pay to achieve it sir. Often we want to be rich famous and achieve greatness then when we have it we wish we could just liv enormal lives. Look at how many stars are followed and harrased by fans and paparazzi. It is crazy life that is. Ali fought a battle against the US Government, against racial indiffernces and most of all against time. he didn't know when to hang em up and call it quits. The truth is that we the fans probably would have never wanted him too either.

Ali is a great man. His condition is sad to see. I hope he lives for awhile yet, and then enters paradise as God see's fit. He is the champ. Forever.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Gotta be hard to be able to do nothing but sit there and watch it happen. Will definitely be a sad day.

three-time Former Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali Seems To Be Losing His Battle With Parkinson's, His Daughter Laila Told The Los Angeles Times. Ali, 63, Has Struggled With Parkinson's Symptoms For Years. But Recently, The Incurable Movement Disorder Seems To Be Taking A Greater Toll. "i Feel Like The Disease Is Progressing," She Said. "different Things Start Happening As You Get Older. I Have Noticed A Change In Him, Something That Goes Along With Parkinson's. "it's Painful For Me Because I Would Love To Sit Down And Talk To My Dad About The Way He Used To Be When He Was My Age, When He Was In His Prime, Because We Are So Much Alike. I Can't Really Do That. I Can't Share A Lot Of Things With Him." According To The Parkinson Disease Foundation's Web Site, The Affliction Occurs When Certain Brain Cells Malfunction And Die. The Afflicted Have Trouble Receiving And Executing Messages From The Brain Telling The Body How To Initiate And Control Movement. Symptoms Continue And Worsen Over Time. There Is No Known Cause. Some Think Ali's Affliction Was Caused By The Accumulation Of Punches Absorbed Over The Years. Medication And Surgery Can Treat The Symptoms. Ali Is One Of Approximately One Million Americans Thought To Suffer From Parkinson's. Laila Ali, 27, Is In Her Sixth Year As A Pro Boxer. She's 21-0 With 18 Knockouts. She Has More Of A Chance To Bond With Her Father Now Than When She Was Younger, As Ali Divorced Her Mother Veronica Porche When Laila Was Eight Years Old. Once One Of The More Quotable Celebrities, Ali Today Is Mostly Silent, His Daughter Said. "we Don't Talk About Boxing," She Told The Times. "he Might Come To A Fight And Say, 'you're Bad.' But He Was Never One To Talk Much About Boxing With Us. That Was Not Him. And He Doesn't Talk Much These Days Anyway. It Takes Him Too Much Energy To Talk. "he Has His Good Days And His Bad Days. He's Taking A Lot Of Different Medications. Sometimes, His Speech Is So Slurred, You Can't Hardly Understand Him. But He Definitely Knows What's Going On. That's For Sure. He Sees Everything." Her Father Feels "like He's Trapped Inside His Body. He Can Think. He Has Things He Wants To Say, But His Lips Sometimes Just Don't Move To Get It Out," Said His Daughter, Who Lives In Los Angeles. "he's Just Taking Life Easy. He Likes Doing Simple Things. He Loves To Draw, He Likes To Color, He Likes To Clip Pictures Out Of Magazines. And He Likes To Do Magic Tricks. It Doesn't Take A Whole Lot To Keep Him Entertained. But His Attention Span Is Very Short When The Subject Is Something More Than That. "he Doesn't Feel Sorry For Himself, So It's Hard To Feel Sorry For Him." Very Sad, When Other Kids Had Batman And Super Man As Their Hero,s, I Had Mohamed Ali. The Greatest Heavy Weight Of All Time. We Will Not See Another Like Him In Our Life Time If Ever. He Always Remains In My Mind The Way He Was When He Beat The Best When The Best Were Incredibly Talented.
