    Ali tonight..

    not to sound like a ***** or anything but i had a tear in my eye when i saw Ali come out today... it makes me so ****ing angry seeing these christian fundimentalist keeping stem cell research from possibly curing Parkinson's disease. not trying to ruffle any feathers here i just want to see if im alone in how i feel.

    while i hear what you are saying...actual evidence shows that more has been accomplished with adult stem cells than embryonic stem cells anyway...but this is not an issue for a boxing forum...

      They have some sort of chip that can be inplanted into the brain, causing the disease to stop. Saw it last year, and saw 2 days ago.

        I feel sorry for Ali, but i don't cry for him, he was a **** when he was younger, but still no one deserves to be like that.

            When he lit the olympic flame and when he and Frazier held hands at a NBA game were two of the hardest for me to watch

              I dont know if he was an *******. He was arrogant and ****y though. I do agree when people say what he did to Joe Fraizer was out of line. Calling him an Uncle Tom isnt right.

                I'm also saddened to see the greatest in that condition, wishing him all the best in the world.

                  This is where I may piss some people off but oh well

                  Ali was a true champ in the ring and out. It really is terrible to see such an athlete become so physically wasted but...what do you want??? People to live forever. There is death for a reason. It is the final part of life. The world is already dangerously over crowded. If we cure all diease where are we gonna put everybody, how will we feed them??? People must die or the world will. we can not cure everything, some times it is better to let nature run it's course.

                    Yeah its tough to see him that way, but its nice to know he's not really angry of it happening to him and I'm sure he has a strong faith.
