Indeed a sad day

I thought Mike Tyson's tweet "God came for his champion" was superb

Rest in peace Muhammad Ali. Float like a butterfly. Rest in paradise.

There are few who can truly be said to have been one of a kind.

He took on all comers, even the US military.

RIP to a great fighter and great character. Takes me back to the days when we had 2 or 3 TV channels and boxing was a huge live event.

He was always very good on Parkinson's chat shows too (and doubtless many others - but in the UK it was Parky) - if anyone hasn't seen them they're worth a watch on youtube.

Was very sad to hear that Ali had died.

True legend.

I'm not a boxing fan and never have been but Ali was a titan, an absolute legend and he'll be missed. 2016 claims another of our heroes. RIP

Yes it's a hecatomb. Even if we should have no heroes (or idols)

A great emotional this Muhammad

 

[Manticore]

Ali was a great, great man and, as someone who has followed boxing over the years, probably the greatest fighter of all time in my opinion.

Hang up those gloves now.

RIP

This was an sad news for me. He was great.

It was already an exploit of having endured the disease during 30 years
