Muhammad Ali: Boxing legend in hospital with respiratory issue

[Lebron23]

Get Well Soon Champ!!!


Boxing great Muhammad Ali is being treated in a hospital for a respiratory issue, a spokesman for the former world heavyweight champion has confirmed.

Ali, 74, is being treated by doctors as a precaution and is described as being in a "fair condition". A brief hospital stay is expected.

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, after quitting boxing.

The three-time world champion was last hospitalised in January 2015 following a severe urinary tract infection.

A family spokesman confirmed Ali's condition to the Associated Press but did not divulge which hospital was treating him or when he was admitted.

Last video I watched of him, he was in extremely bad shape. I really do feel bad for him, considering the champ he was. In some cases these people are better off gone, since it really did seem like a struggle for him.

He looked really bad. Death is inevitable. I know he was a great boxer probably the GOAT. But why does the media love him so much? I know he had a big personality..but what else..dodging the draft? Nation of Islam?

Because he was hugely popular?

Hope he recovers quickly, but I've read reports his condition isn't looking good.

Btw, "When we were kings" is the GOAT sports documentary, it chronicles the events leading up the rumble in the jungle fight between Ali and Foreman. A must watch imo.

Greatest of all time, never will there be another Ali.

imagine being that old and in the hospital and all the doctors are taking best care of you with the highest priority because of who you were in your 20's and early 30s.
