    Another sad day
    The term legend and greatest gets branded about too often these days, but this guy was just that.
    RIP Muhammed Ali

        Those of us that were born in the years following WW2 have seen some of the best in sports and entertainment that there ever will be. Muhammed Ali, or Cassius Clay as he was one known was one of these "bests." Since his retirement, boxing has never seen his like, and probably never will do again.

        RIP Muhammed Ali.

              I've never been a great sports enthusiast or Boxing fan but Ali literally fought his way up through Life and, in my opinion, touched everyone's life. He really did float like a Butterfly and sting like a Bee in the ring and in Life, I think he was a better man than most and if there are Pearly Gates the cry will go up as he goes through them........"i am the Greatest!!":love30:

                Is this edible or would it require a trip to A&E if eaten!
