Muhammad Ali, the silver-tongued boxer and civil rights champion who famously proclaimed himself "The Greatest" and then spent a lifetime living up to the billing, is dead.
Ali died Friday at a Phoenix-area hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications, a family spokesperson confirmed to NBC News. He was 74.
Ali had suffered for three decades from Parkinson's Disease, a progressive neurological condition that slowly robbed him of both his legendary verbal grace and his physical dexterity. A funeral service is planned in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

RIP Ali.
I had a horrible premonition on Monday that someone famous would pass away.
Ali was such an icon and I idolize him and his accomplishments. He was the greatest.

Norm!

my first reaction was "oh %%%"
One of the greats and one of the great showmen is gone.
I know that parkinson's had robbed him of his previous vigor and the things that made him great.
RIP Champ
