Muhammad Ali,
the eloquent, colourful, controversial and brilliant three-time
heavyweight boxing champion who was known as much for his social
conscience and staunch opposition to the Vietnam War as for his dazzling
boxing skills, died Friday.
Ali,
who had a long battle with Parkinson's disease, was taken to a Phoenix
area hospital earlier this week where he was being treated for a
respiratory issue. He was 74.
Once
the most outrageous trash talker in sports, he was largely muted for
the last quarter century of his life, quieted by a battle with
Parkinson's.
