Muhammad Ali passed away tonight. He will always be the champ to me. I watched him spar when he was known as Cassius Clay, at the 5th street Gym in Miami Beach when I was a young man.
As a veteran, I disagreed with his position as far as his refusal to be inducted, but still held a grudging respect for a man who gave up his life and career for what he believed in.
Whatever you may have thought of his politics, or his style, he was still the greatest boxer who ever lived.
Rest in peace, champ.
