Would You Want Muhammad Ali's Life?

[MANGLER]

Nope. A lotta fame and success, but now he's the worse for ware.

[anonymous12]

Definitely. He is one of the most recognisable faces and his name will forever be in history. You can either live your life in anonymity for maybe 60 years, or your name can live for eternity as a great man that inspired the lives of millions.

[FreshPrince]

Yes. In his life he's seen 50 times more than almost anyone will see in their life. He's still living his life too, he was at the Bulls-Suns game the other day.

very good topic.

to be honest with you, i've been on boxing boards since '04 and this is probably the 1st i've seen this question asked. or maybe i'm just not on enough.

Honestly for some reason my first thought was no..But then i thought about how Ali is a part of world ****en history. The man is the defintion of the word legend..i mean we talk his greatness like he's been dead for century's yet he's stll alive..imagine where his status is gonna be 25 yrs or even a hundred years from now? It'll be God then Jesus then Muhammed Ali...Hell its like that right now..Hes on of those guys that went from person to symbol..
Like elvis and Bruce Lee...If aliens visit the earth were gonna show Ali's fights to them as part of a representation of Earth/Human history..

When did he start to really feel the effects of it physically? around 40? 50?
Thats not a bad trade at all..Still. i dunno.

yeah, its all worth it

like ali said: "if it wasnt for boxing id be a painter back in louisville"

hes still quite possibly the most known and admired man in human history, up there with gandhi, jesus, etc
