Boxing sucks. Fuck boxing.
Boxing gave Ali a living, but it also took his life. He suffered for decades with Parkinson's. With the exception of possibly Floyd Mayweather, there is no one today who compares to the personality of Ali.
RIP Ali.

You can't pay your respects without slapping MJ down? Not for nothing, but his playing baseball had as much to do with grieving and coming to terms with his father's murder, I think, as it did anything else.
