Spyder78 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Rahman Ali, Muhammad Alis brother, said the legendary boxer no longer can speak and could be dead within days. The former heavyweight boxing champion, 71, was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease in 1984. His brother said the boxer no longer could recognize him. Muhammad Alis most recent public health scare was in 2011 when he was rushed to a hospital after falling unconscious, The Daily Mail reports. Rahman Ali, also a boxer, said his brother wants to include a response to a Martin Luther King Jr. quote on his gravestone: I tried to love somebody, I did try to feed the hungry. I did try, in my life, to clothe those who were naked. I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity. The Greatest, Rahman Ali told The Mail.

Aero Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 it is sad, but i saw him at the Olympics and he clearly didnt really know what was going on, it was nice to honor him and make him part of it in theory, but the man is in terrible condition. true legend tho Quote
Smacktalks Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 My thoughts go out to his family, especially hearing that he has trouble recognising his brother as my Grandad had similar issues before he died so I know the pain it can cause. Quote

NWOldskool Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I know his health is numero uno just had to pick on the pic itself XD I know. xD Ali is just my favorite all-time athlete from any sport. I may not have been anywhere near alive when he was in his prime but as a big boxing fan the man revolutionized the sport. Plus I believe he helped wrestling with his trash talking I feel it inspired people like Superstar Billy Graham, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan and etc. Quote

"If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you." "I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on." Just some of his epic trash talking XD "I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round."
