    He dominated them, actually. Again, read a Babe Ruth book. You may learn a thing or two.

    Somebody go give Dave Kindred a hug.

    Shit ... No it's not a surprise, but it's still depressing. What a life.
    R.I.P. the last American Hero.

    I won't bother showing his Antonio Inoki episode, which is an hour of your life you'll never get back. But I'll show one of the fun lead-ups to his "fight", in which he has a confrontation with Gorilla Monsoon. Oh, and there's a brief appearance from a certain poster's inspiration.

    1) OP or any mod, this needs to be a RIP thread.

    2) I do not think any athlete has, or ever will, have the impact Ali had on his sport and outside it.

    AP has moved the lengthy obit now, and some quality file photos, including color pics of his 1965 Liston fight (which was in Lewiston, Maine!!!??)

    RIP to one the greatest in any sport.
