Sad to hear about his death, he fought his Parkinsons for such a long time and with tremendous dignity. A genuine legend, not only as a boxer but as a campaigner for civil rights and humanity. He certainly was The Greatest

All of the above but was it really necessary to have 3 hours of virtually nonstop coverage on the BBC this morning?

Best there ever will be. Had the phyisque of an Adonis and the speed of a featherweight fighter. For years he was untouchable in the ring. Although Henry Cooper had him down and out but for the mysterios cut glove that bought him enough time to recover and eventually stop Cooper due to cuts. Always found it interesting how he was a conciensious objector to fighting in Vietnam but he had no problem getting in the ring and pummeling any poor schmuck they put in front of him.
