Muhammad Ali | How the world mourned and paid tribute to 'The Greatest'
Today, the world lost one of the greatest sportsmen ever in Muhammad Ali. The 74-year old was hospitalized after struggling from respiratory problems and the world paid their tribute to the champion that Ali was by reliving some of his greatest moments and sharing their own memories of him.
That combination of quickness and strength.
Sad to hear about #MuhammadAli this morning! What a legend of boxing and so much more to so many people #RIP x

Living life how it should be.
What I admired about #MuhammadAli was that he didn't care about being liked, he just cared about doing the right thing

And no sensible man would even make that mistake in the first place.
"If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologise." What a line, what a boxer, what a man, what a life. Muhammad Ali
