RIP Muhammed Ali - the greatest. Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshipping. Hubert Reeves

That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

RIP Muhammed Ali,he sure was the greatest in the history of boxing,great fights,immense talent and brilliant quotes and predictions. Why do people have turn things on this site into slanging matches about the politics and thoughts that he had nearly fifty years ago beats me. Like to have seen you say some of the comments you have made to his face...don't think so.

My son is 14 and next season fights in the national schoolboy championships. He trains 5 times a week plus goes running with me every other day. His aim is to get into the GB squad within the next 12 months and make the 2020 Olympics when he will be 18. After that the plan is to turn pro and win a world title at Selhurst Park! (gotta think big!) Boxing is a hard and lonely sport ans so to help keep focus his wall is full of Ali posters and quotes. Nobody seemed to do inspiration like Ali could. Below are some of the Ali quotes from my lad’s bedroom wall. 'Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.' 'Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.' 'Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.' 'If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologize.' 'He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.' 'The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses—behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.' 'I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.' RIP legend. PS-My boys new boxing shorts – COYP!

He wasn't perfect. His disrespectful 'Uncle Tom' treatment of the great Joe Frazier was sickening. However, the good outweighs the bad. His achievements, in and out of the ring, will transcend the misguided influences he may have been under half a century ago. 'Facing Ali' is an excellent and touching documentary - in the words of men who actually knew him, and who faced him in the cauldron. Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Cooper, Chuvalo, Tyrell, Shavers, Spinks, Lyle, Holmes. They are far better qualified to comment than we are. [Link] We are the goon squad and we're going to town. Beep Beep!
