Barney T. Administrators Posted June 4, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2016 Quote His hands and his mouth were furiously fast. His skill as a boxer made him "The Greatest" in his mind and in the minds of many others. He antagonized opponents with his taunts, amused reporters with his boasts and angered government officials with his anti-war speeches. At the same time, he goaded a stubborn, hard-nosed society with his stinging jabs against pervasive racism. Since the mid-1960s, he had been one of the most famous faces on Earth, and even though his appearances in recent years were few, the name Muhammad Ali still sparked smiles all around the globe. His death Friday at age 74 came after a lengthy battle against Parkinson's disease. Ali was diagnosed with the disease in 1984, three years after he retired from a boxing career that began when a skinny 12-year-old Louisville, Kentucky, amateur put on the gloves.

EliasV Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 "You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won’t even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won’t even stand up for my rights here at home.” Μuhammad Ali (1942-2016) R.I.P +Gary7, Doli and Draconian Guppy 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
