Muhammad Ali
One of the greatest boxers of all time has passed on. The Louisville Lip. RIP Ali. Not much left of the golden era of heavyweight boxing. Jerry Quarry was one of the first to go: blocked too many punches with his face. Oscar Bonavena shot outside a whorehouse. But big George is still truckin' and selling his grills. But the greatest was Ali. Which boxing fan can forget THE FIGHT. The Rumble in the Jungle. The Thrilla' in Manila. Even Henry Cooper's shock knockdown ... the first time in his pro career that Ali was knocked on his ass. A great boxer in a time of great boxers, and an inspiration for black Americans.
