I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round. |
Today the world is greeted with the news of God calling home one of the most illustrious legendary and greatest fighter of all time. A man who means a lot to so many, despite being diagnosed of Parkinson at 38 in a time when such was not known to be common among the young but despite his shaking body his spirit was unshaken to the end
he stood for a lot, meant a lot to different class of people, always standing up to what he believed from his young days to his very last moment he lived his life and left a legacy. Always ready to take the punch and despite his courage he had his down moments but remained steadfast putting his anger into his struggle and inspiring the world with his charisma and his controversial poetic prowess.
The physical Ali may have gone beyond but the world would always have him live on in his words.
"Last night I had a dream, When I got to Africa,
I had one hell of a rumble.
I had to beat Tarzan’s behind first,
For claiming to be King of the Jungle.
For this fight, I’ve wrestled with alligators,
I’ve tussled with a whale.
I done handcuffed lightning
And throw thunder in jail.
You know I’m bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock,
Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.
I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.
I’m so fast, man,
I can run through a hurricane and don't get wet.
When George Foreman meets me,
He’ll pay his debt.
I can drown the drink of water, and kill a dead tree.
Wait till you see Muhammad Ali."
