Yeah, it's sad that he's in such bad shape. I hope he pulls through.
Really? That's too bad.An actually respectable thread is good to see. Someone made a thread about it in the Mayberry and everyone was literally making fun of him.
kinda surprising, I tend to doubt the demographic age of the average poster here would even be old enough to remember how leon was belittled by the press in the days when he was champ and people were making fun of his run ins with the law. but fuck them really, as butch lewis said in the Hauser Ali bio, "leon doesn't hurt anyone but himself". I just saw an article with larry holmes saying he "didn't always like him" but larry didn't like much of anyone so that means nothing. Ali was fond of him and vice versa.Really? That's too bad.
That sucks.Reuters
