RIP to the G.O.A.T. Muhammad Ali
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
Watch Muhammad Ali walk down the street, a true man of the people:
R.I.P. to the greatest of all time. I remember when he fought George Foreman for the Heavyweight title. Two of my friends and I were listening to the fight on the radio. We were getting the round by round updates, then all of a sudden the announcer said "the fight is over". Our hearts begin to beat 100 MPH, then he said Muhammad "Ali is the New Heavyweight Champion of the Word", we went nuts. It was a great night. My buddy Joe Duce and I were talking about that night a few weeks ago.
Another Memorable night was Muhammad Ali's first fight with Joe Frazier. My Dad took me and my brother down to the Municipal Auditorium to watch the fight on Close Circuit TV, That was the way we watched fights in those days. I remember that night fondly because we were there to watch a great fight, but it was a memorable night because it was guys night out with my Dad and my brother. Well Muhammad Ali lost the fight and I remember crying in the car as we were heading back to the house. I wasn't boo-hooing, just sad. Muhammad Ali was a hero to all of us, bigger than life itself. It was a sad day.
R.I.P. Champ - HNIC

It's something to see this mans hurst being driven thru a city where, on one side (West) he was beloved as its native son and yet, he couldn't even get served in a restaurant after coming back home an Olympic gold medalist.
This possession is somewhat moving though; the folks out in the streets to honor him is just great.

I've never seen anything like this.
Wow...
Wow...
RIP Champ, tears flowin' but the power that he is @ peace and so loved, brings me great comfort. 
Cosign!
Love this dude. Not too many people that I respect on such a level.
Rev Cosby (Louisville St Stephen's church) - "It's easy to bet on the horse when he's in the winning circle, a lot of people would bet on a horse on once he's got the roses around his neck, but it's struggling masses who bet on horse when he's at the gate or struggling in the mud." (I'm paraphrasing but y'all get the message).
He set the tone properly. Let's see how the rest goes.

Malcom X daughter's tribute was awesome!
can someone please post the funeral once its over? Dont need the entire thing...like Bill Clinton etc....just the key moments. Thanks
Outside of Sen Orin Hatch , it's all been very good. They should just bump Clinton and Crystal at this point.
Salute Billy Crystal....
that was perfect.
that was perfect.
I think Bryant Gumbel is going to do this right...
Did B. Gumbel just QUOTE Ms. Hill!?!??!!??!!??!
this is the first time EVER that I heard ole Billy Clint sound a little shook...
I think Crystal and Gumbel dropped a double mic and it was hard as hell to follow that.
Haven't been watching all of it...Billy Crystal dedication was next level beautiful
