R.I.P. Muhammad Ali- The Greatest of All Time
The world has lost an icon tonight with the passing of the three time Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World.
A superlative athlete, yes.
But, boxing was what he did and not the full measure of the man.
A man of principle and integrity willing to sacrifice his title and way of life to stand tall in his beliefs.

He showed hard work pays off. Said he hated training but when he saw how he was progressing it was all worth it!
Hated training?
He sure did, Kevin!
Called the hill he used to run up and down at his Deer Lake, PA training facility, which he owned...'Agony Hill'.
He was a clear and shining example that the willingness to work not only hard, but SMART, can make you achieve greatness.
Muhammad Ali beat opponents at least as much, if not more, with his brains rather than his body.
No question, Shawn.
I am a year younger than you so, we both grew up in a time where the Heavyweight Champion of the World really meant something.
Boxing was a different sport then, and he used the fame he gained as the three time Champion to trailblaze a path for positive change.
We should all have a fraction of the impact on mankind that he had.
Hi David,
You are spot on when you talk about being a world heavyweight champion. There are so many different weight classifications now and where would MMA (which I don't enjoy btw!) be without boxing. There are some great stories about Ali on tsn.ca right now that you may find interesting.
Thank you for stopping by, Evelyn.
Seven daughters, two sons, and four wives.
A very interesting documentary on Ali's life is on Netflix, called 'I am Ali'.
It focuses more on the man outside the ring while still encompassing his career.
Very inspiring.
Same as was his life and legacy.

Hi-Great minds think alike. I had to post on Ali today, too. Watched him box many times-he was "The Greatest!"-Rick :)
Great minds usually do. ;)
Ali was a true artist of his craft.
Thanks, Rick!
Happy to join you in a tribute to a great man. :)
