Do not pity him. Boxers are renown for having a short life span. Ali was lucky that he dropped out of boxing when it became obvious that he physically couldn't take the punishment no more after he suffered a series of loses. Some stay in the sport too long and it ends up costing them down the road.

Wow, I can't believe it. So many passings and the year isn't even over. Rest in Peace Mr. Ali. I hope that you float like a butterfly.
You talking bout it not being over? We're hardly halfway through 2016
Edit: I see what you're saying. My mistake sir. I misread your comment.
Yeah, heard it about in the morning.
Poor man. So many legends are dying
i just heard about this on the forums on the way to work he was one of the greats r.i.p
I feared this was gonna happen when I saw the news tonight that he was sick. Well at least he ain't suffering anymore.
It's a shame really, an American hero.
My dad was right, when I told him about Ali being in the hospital with his family at his bedside, he said he would likely die.
But I hear the National Museum of African American History and Culture will have some stuff of his when it opens up, so that's good.
Truly, we have lost an icon, not only in the sports world, but also in the civil rights and anti-war movements.
Rest in power.
Are you fucking kidding me? Another goddamn casualty, especially one of the best boxers of all time. R.I.P.
R.I.P Muhammed Ali, truly one of the greatest and most influential athletes of all time, you'll be missed.

He floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. And now his spirit embodies that floating butterfly. R.I.P., Muhammad Ali.
Oh shit. I actually thought he was dead already.
Sorry for misconception, rest in peace Ali.
