Where did you see that?

Checked ESPN, CNN, FOXnews, AP, and CNNSI.

Only CNNSI said anything and it said he was in fair condition

Sad news.....A quick Google search shows this might not be the first time folks have thought he could be nearing the end. Hopefully he can fight back from this too. But Parkinsons and his other issues might make it impossible. Float like a butterfly....sweet memories of watching him in the ring.

An exceptional athlete and an amazing person. Praying for his recovery but should it be his time...may he float like a butterfly.

I heard something briefly on the news this morning. Sounded minor to me. Hang in there champ.

The respiratory issue is obviously concerning. My father had Parkinson's and it was pneumonia which ultimately caused his passing.

Who are you praying to? God or his god.

Sorry, Ali (Cassius Clay), Malcomn X, and such, does not sit well with me. If you look more into his life, he is not the American hero everyone embraces.

I don't wish his death, but, I am prepared on how the media protrays his life.

But, to each his own.

Jimmy, Muslims are monotheists. You might want to add that to your lists of things to look into.

I'm assuming the way you say "God or his god" implies his is a false "God". Being an atheist, I'm more impressed that he chose his religion as opposed to being given one by his place of birth and/or upbringing.

That's 'portrays' genius. If you have to be ugly, try to be smarter about it.

And I thought we weren't supposed to go to the religion thing. If that restriction is lifted, I have some thoughts that I would LOVE to share about some of the comments on this thread.
