Because of my young age I didn't know really much about him. I heard from my parents his name and that he is a champ but never really searched more about him. After his death I watched many of his videos. He made me wake up from a long sleep. I feel myself a loser now because I've done nothing with my life until this age. Thank you Muhammad Ali for letting me know how great you were. You're greatness and confidence and believe that you had in yourself makes me feel so small. RIP Ali you will NEVER be forgotten. You are my inspiration and my hero.

As a kid I idolized Ali as a boxer but he became my hero when he evaded the draft, stood up to the US Supreme court and won AND was stripped of his title and STILL refused to stop speaking out against the Vietnam war. To top it off he came back to reclaim his boxing title.

[@syedahmed8775]

He was my hero. Knowing how much I love him, my wife and son bought me the book 'GOAT" .I cried when he lost to Frazier and when he died.What a soul!

Also, he convert to Islam because he found a truth. He found a happiness beyond anything.... Even after he defeated Foreman, he been asked; "Is this your happiest moment?" He answered; "No, but when i converted to Islam".... Sex with another girl? What's the relation with his religion? He even did that BEFORE he converted to Islam. Are you an idiot?

Obama is not Constitutionally i.e. , legally, the President of the United States. Article II ' natural born Citizen ' enjoins sole allegiance at birth. The off-spring of non-U.S Citizens are not permitted to assume Command in Chief of the U.S Military. Abolitionist and Architect of the 14th Amendment, John Bingham speaks : " Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born Citizen " obama was born a Citizen of the United Kingdom & Colonies through his non-U.S Citizen, Father, barrack obama sr and as such, is, at best, a statutory U.S Citizen ;naturalized at birth or shortly thereafter.

no actually he doesnt. He was a great boxer, but he was also a draft dodger. he refused to fight for his country, while many others, both black & white fought and died in the same war he dodged.

[@HuguesTalbot]

He will be remembered as a courageous man for this very act by many people. History shows that he was right.

[@6retsub]

Very misinformed you are. Ali, like others before him, as a celebrity would have never seen combat. He would be a good will ambassador. He saw the war as unjust and would have gone to jail or worse for his views.

[@aeshiriser]

he should've gone to prison ! he wasn't a true minister, which should be the only ones given a pass. Doesn't matter if he wouldn't have seen combat. He still should've stood up with courage and done his duty, or gone to prison, one or the other.

Why so that the nation's elite can make more blood money from that war which we should have never gotten involved.

[@krishnanaidoo2758]

Thank you Utube, I am from South Africa and grew up when apartheid was rife. One suffers a lot when they are made to feel inadequate because of the colour of their skin, I am of Indian origin. Ali and President Barack Obama are shining examples of what one can achieve in life regardless of their caste, creed,colour , religion or race for that matter. My hero is Nelson Mandela and Ali and so many others who devoted their lives fighting the injustices of the world. I did my bit at my place of work and I was victimized. I have no regrets, because enhancing the lives of my fellow human beings is important to me. I am 67 years old and retired now. RIP Ali.

[@stevemohammed5401]

A great tribute by ex President Obama, showing love and affection for the greatest boxer of all times. Muhammad Ali was not only a boxer but he was a poet orator philosopher and most of all a kind and loving father to his children. He left a legacy of bringing the Vietnam war and bringing home the captives of American soldiers captured by Sadam Hussain and gave lectures to students . RIP champ

[@keywordxo5378]

Heartfelt and eloquent from this great man to another.

[@lwmson]

I'm the same age as Barack, so I assume that he was about 55 when this was filmed. I too can remember looking up to Ali when I was a kid, because as a black child we didn't have many heroes. But not even Hollywood could have created a more iconic figure for us than Muhammad Ali. He was indeed the total package, and Spike Lee put it best, "He was handsome, articulate, funny, outspoken, and was whippin' ass too!" Historically, we blacks have suffered from self-hatred issues, stemming from the fact that we are living a white society, but it was Ali, more than any other historic black figure, who made us realize that black was indeed beautiful, and when he proclaimed to be "pretty" -- and he was indeed -- we felt that we too were individually beautiful. Moreover, when he predicted that he could accomplish feats that many deemed were "impossible," he gave the self confidence to believe in ourselves and in doing so anything could be possible. He was indeed one of a kind; the like of which we will never see again.

[@megadeoxyz2324]

[@xJinxKazama]

you got to be kidding me. obama is bullshit, jfk was the real deal

[@2030matrix]

Interesting perspective you have - JFK's family made their fortune selling illegal whisky during prohibition. JFK started Americas involvement in Vietnam. JFK had sexual affairs with every woman he could get his hands on - including his 18 year old intern. He drugged her on occasion. He was not selfish however, he did allow one of his cabinet member have a go with her in the White house swimming pool. Saying someone is the "real deal" is subjective and not an opinion shared by all.

[@2030matrix]

I somehow replied to the wrong post. Now I cant fine the original post. I agree with you. jfk was not what the American people think he was. today, he would be impeached and probably sent to jail for drugging his intern to have sex with him and at least one of his cabinet members.
