The ring is the loneliest place in all of the whole wide world. There is no hiding...No respite...No escape. It is where a man finds questions he otherwise might not think to ask. Muhammad Ali...A credit to his race - The human race! Heaven is blessed tonight - For the greatest amongst us has returned home!! God bless and protect you...Muhammad Ali. John Harold Fleming.

JHF, What is the most important in many ways is what he left unsaid. Those were some bewildering times he lived in. God puts us all here for a purpose. Ali's was starting out being vengeful and ending up being peaceful. Jim Horn

AD, I still remember the 60's and harsh treatment of the blacks in Virginia. They even tried to keep them out of Caucasian public schools by closing them down in Fall 1958 through Spring 1959. I graduated in June 1959. My class was the only one that had to suffer from all of this. Jim Horn
