Could they not have done like they do in Dingle? Just replace him and say nothing.
Western lowland gorillas are slightly more difficult to source than dolphins.

Looks as though Mohammed Ali’s time is nearly up.

He’s getting a ten count,looks like he won’t beat it,he was indeed “the greatest”
I guess this won’t be going ahead then
Funny though
Ali was obviously one of the greatest, but it appears he generally doesn’t rank as the greatest pound for pound boxer with most far more knowledgeable and experienced observers of boxing than myself.
Surely it’s his cultural significance that elevates him to another level rather than his boxing, great as it was.
Is it right to consider that cultural significance when determining who “the greatest” is?
When everything is taken into account @Sidney inside and outside the ring he was/is “the greatest”

Cassius Clay RIP. It was sad to watch him in his final years. As a lad who enjoys the oul boxing, I hope he’s at peace now

Ali. Gone. Brown bread.
RIP to one of the greats.
A bad year for cultural icons in their 70’s continues. One of the great personalities inside and outside of sport of his time. He transcended his sport in a way few could back then or now. A complex individual no doubt, he could be a mean nasty son of a bitch, but fuck it, he could talk, and he generally backed it up. There’s been nothing quite like him before or after.
May he Rest in Peace.

A sad last few decades to such a life. I wonder how Joe Frazier will react.
