Great article about an even greater fight. Ali was just so huge to me and everyone around me that he was god-like. I disliked Frazier, Foreman, and others just because of what Ali said about them. Every time he lost we were all despondent and when he won it was like we won the lottery. This fight was big around the world and even though I had not arrived in the U.S. yet, it impacted me and everyone I knew in my home country. He lost this one but nobody can touch The Greatest.

Ali was the greatest. In and out of the ring. A great American. A great Muslim. A great voice of a generation. A great role model. A great influence on rap.
He fought the good fight.

A sick 'sport'.

Boxing is the best sport of all. I do amateur boxing and I also love to watch these big fights. Love to have seen Tyson at his peak up against Ali at his peak! Tyson would have floored Ali!
