This is one celebrity death I will actually mourn & celebrate his life.
Amazing man. If I wasn't so lazy/busy I could start a huge thread filled with legendary moments, quotes etc from the man.
One of my favorite films of all time is 'When We Were Kings', about the Rumble in the Jungle:
It is MAGICAL.
What a storybook life
But above his skills in the ring, his amazing trashtalk and epic fights, his refusal to fight in Vietnam for me is what truly makes his great. So bold, so honest. Lost his title and everything. His vocalization about black issues was also like a breath of fresh air at a much needed time.
