Yep, last night I read that he was gravely ill then 10 minutes later the headline said he died.
Without trying to sound cliche this man was a legend, a true human legend. Not only for America but the world.
As a young child I saw him fight Frazier, Norton, Shavers, to name a few.
He really was The Greatest.
Here's just one battle he triumphed in, but not without a price.
