Muhammad Ali, who riveted the world as ‘The Greatest,’ dies (The Associated Press)
Muhammad Ali died Friday at age 74, according to a statement from the family. Ali will never die,” Don King, who promoted some of Ali’s biggest fights, told The Associated Press early Saturday. With a wit as sharp as the punches he used to ”whup” opponents, Ali dominated sports for two decades before time and Parkinson’s Syndrome, triggered by thousands of blows to the head, ravaged his magnificent body, muted his majestic voice and ended his storied career in 1981.
