Hi!

 

 

 

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.

Is that your pet name for this chap?

Wow, that was deliciously obscure 4H!

Thanks, I find the weekend is usually the best time to introduce 11th Century Norwegian royalty into conversations..........

Who can forget Harald Finehair, Gorm the Old, Svein Forkbeard, Harald Bluetooth and of course Cnut the Great,

Were those the original suggestions before they decided on Ginger, Sporty, Scary, Baby and Posh?

Harald Bluetooth? Was he related to Ole-Einur Firewire?

I can't remember, was Svein Forkbeard real, or did he come from a video game?

 

I know I've heard it somewhere...

 

I wonder what Cassius Clay's name would be today if he had converted to Norwegian instead of Islam?

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Cassius Wobblyhead?

Cassius the Unsteady?

I don't see Muhammad Ali dying this year. Parkinsons is one of those diseases that you can live with for a very long time. Plus, as an athlete he probably spent his life in much better shape than your average politician or movie star, sort of off setting all the punchiness that results from a life time of getting hit in the head. I think he's one of those people that is going to become a perennial death tease, like zsa zsa gabor, Frank Sinatra or John Paul II.

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

Dunno about the length of his death teasing, his Parkinsons is advancing quickly but I think we'd be lucky to see a result this year. The next few years; highly possible I'd say. He almost certainly won't see 70,probably will see 65 next January.

I completely agree, for what it's worth. I said somewhere that Richard Pryor's death has completely changed my view on these slow but debilitating types of illnesses (ALS, MS, Parkinson's etc.). Not everyone can be Ronald Reagan.

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

That somewhere CP my old mate was on the Richard Pryor thread. Is yer memory going, maybe a little tremor in the hands of a morning? Just asking, like. And if it is.....are you famous?

It wasn't the Parkinson's that got Pryor though,

 

it was a heart attack, so you can't really draw any conclusions from it.

Admittedly, I don't know much about these diseases? Could the heart attack have been triggered by the degenerative nature of his MS? Could he have been less able to fight it because of the MS?

 

I'm thinking the MS was a factor in his death. Maybe it didn't kill him, but it made him die sooner? I guess it's all semantics at this point...

[Deadornot 12]

I reckon that he will survive partly because of the fact that he is the youngest on DL.

[Banshees Scream 110]

Age isn't what is being looked at here. Richard Pryor died last year being the youngest on the list

besides 45 year old Maradona. Although I agree that his TKO for life hasn't yet arrived and might not for some time.

I agree with you on that Banshees. One can survive with parkinsons dissease for many years, and from all indications, Muhammad Ali still has a lot of life left in him.

Disagree with that, his case is severe and he's not been good over the years at taking his medication. Oddly enough he's better now because others have to force it down him. Either way, he's very ill. I'll stick with the prediction above, he'll see 65 (next January) but not 70.

But the difference between Pryor and Ali is that Pryor spent his adult life partying extremely hard...coke, pot, liquor, etc. Ali spent his career as an athlete. I stand by my predictions of a pretty long retirement.

And taking blow after blow to the head.

 

I agree with you in that I think he'll last out the year, but it's obvious, even by his own admission, that he's rapidly deteriorating. I think MPFC said he wouldn't see 70, and I'd agree. He might even see my list as early as 2007.

[maryportfuncity 10,647]

He's been retired from his only real job for 25 years, he should have been retired from it for over 30 years.

Well, after being out of the ring for 25 years, I am quite certain that my prediction will stand. I don't see him making a comeback bid.

[Canadian Paul 97]

Just to add fuel to the fire, I'm sure this has been posted here before, but it no doubt explains his inclusion on the list.

 

Personally I think it's a bit exaggerated, but I also won't be surprised if he's a DL success this year.
