Canadian Paul 97 Posted December 16, 2005 Keeping on topic, he's been deteriorating a lot this year, which surprised me. With the death of Richard Pryor, I've had to rethink my stance on younger people with long-lasting diseases. Might be a good pick for 2006, though I know he's disappointed us in the past.

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted December 16, 2005 I'd say he'll survive 2006, albeit with a low profile. He's been clean living most of his life - despite taking a shitload of punches to the head and body - and his cardiovascular system will keep the motor running long after the motor functions have gone to hell. 2007, late on, at the earliest I reckon.

Muhammad Ali as we know has parkinsons disease most likely because he took way to many hits in the ring durning his boxing days. It seems the disease is slowly taking him over but I agree 2006 may be a bit to early to include the boxing great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 2, 2006 Muhammad Ali to me is a Richard Pryor type pick since age wouldn't qualify him as a DL canidate. With the addition of Pryor in the 2005 list it he did pay off with him being the 12th and final graduate of the year. Ali may have some days left within him I say but the DL may never know when luck comes blowin there way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ali may have some days left within him I say but the DL may never know when luck comes blowin there way. I think Ali is even more likely than Pryor, since there have been lots of news reports recentely of Ali's declining health, whereas there were none for Pryor. Then again, they did do a lot of tributes for him before he went. Poor bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Debbie Posted January 25, 2006 Hi! If anyone wants a good read. the Tao of Muhammad Ali is really good. Im studying it at college and found parts of it quite endearing. Its the biography of a man calleed Davis Miller but Ali (as you can see from the title) plays a huge part in Millers life. Enjoy!!!!!!! Thanks 4 reading Debbie.Kent.UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks 4 reading Debbie.Kent.UK If any DLers have kids around the age of 10-15, to whom you'd like to introduce the concepts of Taoism, (or, if you're a bit slow yourself )"The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff is a good start. to wit... "Not like Pooh, the most effortless Bear we've ever seen." "Just How do you do it, Pooh?" "Do What?" asked Pooh. "Become so Effortless." "I don't do much of anything," he said. "But all those things of yours get done." "They just sort of happen," he said. p.s. Muhammad Ali was a boxer. His daughter, Laila Ali, is a boxer. Her record currently stands at 22 wins, 0 losses, 19 knockouts. On January 31st, she will be awarded the WBC World Women's Boxing Champion's title in Cancun, Mexico.
