A truly great person and athlete - RIP Sir - the world has lost one of the true greats..... :cry:

Obviously there has been huge coverage in the press, but something that stood out for me this morning reading the paper was a list of Ali's comments before and after his fights. One that sums him up completely IMHO: -

"If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologise"... Superb! :thumb:
