Heh. You have to be kidding.

Not at all. I've always been a big fan of Ali. It's good to see him
still smiling, despite all that has befallen him.
Yes, truly sad now that he's reduced to a mental midget.
I wonder who told him to smile and look at the camera?
I can't believe *you* posted that, Tim. It smells like a herring post.

not necessarily. The guy has severe brain damage which is well known,
and from what I gather has to be led by the hand and literally told
what to do. I may be wrong about that, but that's my understanding.

Now, here's the real kicker. Reagan's last days in office, it was
discovered or at least speculated that he was in early stages of
Alzheimer's disease, in which the press started to eat him alive and
some showed him no mercy.

Reagan suffered from a mental illness which is associated with age,
and over such he had no control Ali's brain turned to mush after
having his head continually beat in all for chasing a prize and
bragging that he "is the greatest"

Yes, Howard said he was the "Greatest boxer of all time"

Ali's reputation proceeds him, but he's not so great now, is he?


Yeah, Tim, he is. Ali is still the greatest. I closely followed the
heavyweight division since the days of Floyd Patterson until the 1990s,
and there was never ever anyone as good as Ali at his best.

If you were around when the Babe was dying, would you have said, "Well,
he's not so great now, is he?"




BTW, I thought Reagan had Alzheimer's by the beginning of his second term.
