Hundreds, thousands will post and write about Muhammad Ali today and for years to come. Why repeat here, what everyone else is and will be saying about this legend except my personal perspective:
Sometimes, I didn’t like him much. Loved him in the Olympics. Loved him knocking out Sonny Liston. Didn’t like him beating “Smokin Joe Frazier. I liked Frazier. In the beginning hated his action (not the man) for “dodging” the draft; thought he became a Muslim to use the religion to keep him out of the military. Took a few years to realize he was sincere about his belief.
Muhammad Ali never “dodged” the draft like he dodged punches from his challengers. He took the punches, never ran. He fought it, stood up to the battle. Muhammad Ali never ran from anyone or anything.
Parkinson’s Disease did not beat Muhammad Ali, it was his final round, the final bell.
