Sad news. He fought his Parkinson's disease with great dignity. A true Legend I think and very popular in the UK, especially after he came to Brixton at the height of his fame to promote civil rights. I'm old enough to remember his early fights as 'Cassius Clay'. The BBC voted him as 'Sportsperson of the Century' and rightly so. His lighting of the Olympic flame in Atlanta was unforgettable and incredibly moving. RIP

Ali seemed like a genuinely humble person and person who fought for what he believed in. He will be remembered and never forgotten. RIP Champ.
