Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest athletes in history, has passed away at the age of 74.

The former professional boxer, generally considered as the best heavyweight of all time, succumbed to a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease after being hospitalised with respiratory problems.

Ali suffered for years from Parkinson's disease, which ravaged his body but could never dim his larger-than-life presence.
He was hospitalised in Phoenix with respiratory problems earlier this week, and his family gathered around him.

He died Friday night, according to a statement from the family.

RIP

A sad loss of a very good man

He made the world a better place, because (apart from being an amazing fighter) he made us think about what is right & what is wrong, and was even prepared to lose his career & go to jail rather than do something he believed to be morally wrong.

He Was Truley The Greatest!

Yes that is sad.

It kinda sucks that kids choose celebrities as role models rather than doctors, or scientists, or something. But for better or worse, they do. As far as celebrity role models go, he was one of the better ones.

Prayers and sympathies to his loved ones and friends.

I shed a tear when he lit the Olympic Torch.

Watching him box was like watching the sport taken to an entirely new level. It became an art form. RIP warrior.

BIG LOSS! RIP!
