I respect the man far more than Ali.
Me too! Ali played a major role in starting the decline in civility and sportsmanship — and the rise in narcissism — that now runs rampart in Western society.

….old enough to remember the heyday.
But I didn’t know (Until today) that his left arm was deformed due to a break which (Through poverty) had to be left to mend on its own. The deformity apparently was a perfect shape to make his Left hook even more accurate and powerful.
RIP.

Overshadowed by Ali but, a great fighter and a very nice person.

That is sad news indeed. RIP.

Sad News, A great fighter in a golden age of other great fighters…Ali, Foreman, Quarry, Norton etc.
Never ducked any of them, a great fighter and a hell of a tough guy.
Unfortunately some fights you just can’t win…….:(
