Famed boxer Muhammad Ali was admitted to an undisclosed hospital Saturday with pneumonia, his spokesman Bob Gunnell said.

Ali's treatment prognosis is good, he said.

"At this time, the Muhammad Ali family respectfully requests privacy," the statement said.

Or football for that matter because of all the brain injuries. But I really like a little sparring with a trainer at the gym. I wonder if I go back which I REALLY need to that my trainer will indulge me. It's not really her thing. (Of course I hit hands only not heads)

big heart, a fighter for all.....always has been one of my heroes. The government tried to break him, he stood his ground. Favorite quote, "The draft is white people sending black people to fight the yellow people to protect the country they stole from the red people".

I'll get plenty of argument about this, but in my opinion, Ali is the great boxer of any weight class of all time.
