R.I.P. Muhammad Ali

[Parksy]

I was saddened to learn today of the death of Muhammad Ali.
He was an American icon who touched many lives, and who sparked an interest in boxing for many people who otherwise wouldn't have been entertained by the noble art.

A sad loss and a big part of my youth was inspired by Clay B) and Our 'enry. I learned discipline from boxing at a young age and went on to continue boxing right through my military years. I remeber being allowed to stay up and watch when Ali was fighting and it was always like an FA cup final to me.

RIP.
