    I don't know what to say. There are no words.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      Float like a butterfly.

      RIP Muhammad Ali.
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          He called himself 'The Greatest,' and to many he was not only the greatest boxer, but the greatest sportsman who ever lived.

            It is going to be a thriller and a chiller when I meet the gorilla in Manila.

              RIP to the official Great One. I followed his career from when he was plain Cassius Clay and knocked out Sonny Liston. Will be missed by many

                He really was the last great heavyweight boxer. Boxing is the art of defence and Ali's anticipation and evasion through his superior footwork endurance and devastating jab set him apart from every great heavyweight fighter and brawler to call themselves champion since.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    When I was growing up Ali v Frazier were the biggest sporting events on tv. Everyone watched them. What champions they were.

                    I loved the wit of Ali as much as his skill in the ring. But above all what he stood for. He was an inspiration to so many in the world.

                    I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly in Atlanta during the Olympics. His presence and the aura around him were something I'll never forget. Grown men hanging around him were acting like small children around Santa Claus. A truly amazing man.

                            2016 is turning into a really shit year.

                            Ali had a heavyweight's power with a middleweight's agility. As a boxer there's no comparison.

                            And when a mike was in his face there was no one better.

                            I would have loved Ali in his prime cut a promo with The Rock. They could have gone half an hour back and forth on the mike.

                              I am envious that you got to meet him. He's one on my list that I missed out on but from your description it sounds exactly how I would have expected it to have been like.
