My heart is breaking, champ. Millions of us lived through you. We did not even know you but you were a big part of our lives, and in our thoughts every day.

Only a few from any field are immortalized in the thoughts of those still living and who will yet live. When no contemporary of yours survives, your name will be alive and strong. You belong with Picasso and Shakespeare, son, with Lincoln and Socrates. You go now.

I grew up watching videos of his fights with my dad.

A true legend, R.I.P. Muhammad Ali.

Let us celebrate his memories here, you all. Let us revere his poetical quotes here.

Ali was not as slick and tall and mouthful and quick young fighter anymore when he tried to win the HW championship for the 3rd time in 1974 against George Foreman, a formidable and menacing champion who got long powerful jabs with incredible strength and can cut the ring and got impressive timing and who sent his lifetime rival Joe Frazer lifting off the ground with a brutal right in the second round KO. Majority of the so called boxing experts were sure Ali would be massacred and were only talking about what round Ali would hit the canvass. But Ali is a legend of the highest caliber.

Ali said, “If you think the world was surprised when Nixon resigned, wait till I whup Foreman’s behind,”

Ali's heckling spare no one, not even a dictator who sent thousands of his political opponents to prison and who allegedly made tens of thousands of political activists missing never to be seen again.
