Very sad and shocking ... Rest in peace, legend.

RIP to one of the greatest fighters in sports history. He will be sorely missed. :(
(Many years ago, I remember playing Pictionary with some friends and drew a card with his name. All I could think of for quick sketches were a butterfly and a bee as representations of his famous catchphrase. They were easy clues.)

RIP, Mr. Ali.

RIP Muhammad Ali. :( He totally was the greatest and had so many great quotes. I always loved that photo shoot he did with the Beatles and pretended to knock all four of them out at once.

May he rest in peacs

RIP Muhammad - you were the greatest in every way - personality, charisma, flamboyance and talent.

Wonderful man & an inspiration to millions.

I remember watching the documentary When We Were Kings & being astounded to see such grace & precision in such a brutal sport.

I will never forget watching the Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony in 1996. They always keep the athlete chosen to light the torch a closely guarded secret but when the time came & Ali appeared the stadium erupted.I remember just saying 'God, it's Ali'. He was that special.

"Floats like a Butterfly; Stings like a Bee."
"I am the Greatest."
Muhammad Ali.

The song "The Greatest Love of All," as recorded by George Benson, and then as later recorded by Whitney Houston; was originally written to be the theme song for a movie about Muhammad Ali.
