Oh finally, after a long battle with parkinsons. What a loss. God bless your soul man. A rare gem has been lost.

Our home town fellow here with a major street named after him and a major building with his name and image on it. All that has been here during hs lifetime. Very few people have streets and monuments named after them while they are alive. Only the Greatest.
Look closely at the google maps photos and see "Muhammad Ali Boulevard" and "Muhammd Ali Centre" in the city where he is from. Aslo happens to be my home town. I lived on Muhammad Ali boulevard a few years ago and still frequent the street on my routes. He will not be forgotten.
