He's not one whose politics I agreed with, but who lead an admirable life.  God Bless, Mohammed Ali, and Rest In Peace.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Very admirable man.  A man who wrestled with heavy moral issues his entire life.

He was a boxer, not a wrestler. Otherwise I agree.

RIP :(

Can you elaborate? I have never heard of this side of his life. I thought he was a very good boxer (and later in life seemed to have suffered because of likely brain damage from that).

Edit: So it as not just "seemed" but he had Parkinson's which, most likely, was caused or aggravated by brain damage from boxing.

He not only fought in the ring, but for his beliefs. A true hero.

Just rewatched "When we were Kings" in his memory. Amazing doc, I think it captures him magnificently.
