I cannot believe it. RIP Champ.

Very sad news. I'm actually wearing an Ali t-shirt as I write this, I doubt there's a boxing fan on the planet who doesn't own at least one piece of Ali memorabilia.

I rarely use the word because it's so over-used these days, but Ali was a genuine legend. RIP Champ.

George Foreman rated Cleaveland Williams in his top 3 hardest hitters.

Agreed.

RIP champ. The Greatest. The most recognisable name and face on the planet possibly? Respected and revered by generations in the Western World, the east, Asia, the middle east, Africa, South America, every corner of the globe.

RIP champ.

His legend will never die. A truly larger than life character. Arguably the greatest sportsman of all time. RIP Ali

What a life. R.I.P.

What a shame.

R.I.P. Muhammad Ali.

RIP
Ali, Bomaye!

The Best Heavyweight bar none

RIP Ali....Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

The first fight I ever watched was The Thrilla in Manila and I've been hooked ever since. At the time, my dad was my hero and his hero was Ali, so I grew up thinking he was. An amazing boxer, man and hero.

RIP - The greatest champ!!

The very reason I started to watch this great sport .

R.I.P. champ you will never be forgotten

He'd be in the reckoning for one of the best peoples of all time.

The most recognisable and iconic sportsman to have ever graced this planet.

The best last forever, rest in peace champ.

RIP champ, TBE.

Ali was not perfect and was very hard on Joe Frazier. But who is perfect? I think Ali is the most important sportsman in the 20th century and transcended sport....

I hope Steve Bunce doesn't announce on his show: "I hear Muhammad Ali is braaaannnn breadddddd"

What a plum

RIP 'The Greatest.'
Very sad news. I've been dreading this day as selfishly I drew some sort of comfort that he was still amongst us hanging on in there. I can't imagine that there can ever be another like him. He's left some utterly wonderful memories.

RIP

I've been aware of Ali my whole life. He was like some superman figure on the tele as a child growing up in the 60's. I remember when he came back from his enforced exile thinking how much slower he looked (against Jerry Quarrey in 1970), but he went on to have those huge fights with Foreman and Frazier that helped define boxing in the 70's. He should have retired after the third Frazier fight. It wasn't pretty to watch after that. I was just reading about him watching reruns of that fight and the Foreman one over and over when he became to ill to walk, and his tangled private life with 4 marriages and 9 kids (that he acknowledged) plus one adopted son, but I prefer to think about how kind and self-sacrificing he was, how he never beat anybody up in sparring, prefering to work on defense. They reckon he leaves an estate worth 60M for his family to squabble over (that would have been a lot more if he hadn't given so much away).

Goodbye Ali.

RIP to the man who was greater than the lord himself!

Never knew he had a daughter boxing in the top

Rip to the greatest used to watch his old
Fights on video growing up I was mesmerised by him. Rip champ

Sad times.
