    I would say so. I feel it's pretty hard to argue any other way.

    Word, two of the most athletically gifted and driven human beings ever. Although Ali definitely eclipses Jordan as a personality, seeing people as great and competitive as them just inspires you and makes you want to do better.

    Impressed that my boy WPG has this much boxing knowledge. Much respect.

    Ali's resume is literally unbeatable

    Nah, listen, guy who has a woman too hot for him as his avy on a rap forum, a guy who was imprisoned and had his life threatened for standing up for his beliefs deserves to be called by his name.

    It's wildly disrespectful to call him Cassius Clay.

    I just called Pras and told him to apologize to @WPG for saying "I refugee from Guantanamo Bay
    Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay" in Ready Or Not.

    Been watching the tributes all day on the news. Quite remarkable what Muhammad Ali achieved even with all the obstacles thrown in his way. An absolute sensation.
    Redefined boxing and activism from the ground up. I was in tears last night when I heard he was on life support. Basically every musician, athlete, celebrity I looked up to, they all looked up to Ali.

    What Marlon Brando was to acting, and what Bruce Lee was to martial arts, Muhammad Ali was the GREATEST!

    R.I.P. to a legend.

    Always loved watching his fights, yes, even his old ones during the racial tension.

    Good piece http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2...ad-ali-lead/VIM5Ckd6gmHMyKDsWDUUCL/story.html

    There's really no one like Ali today. Even the outspoken black Public figures we have are largely driven by their own interests. Somehow we've lost that strand of activism and consciousness in mainstream figures that made guys like Brown, Jackie Robinson and Ali so captivatingly transcendent

    Kind of reminds me of when Harry belafonte called out Jay Z
