[Mad Eyed Screamer]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A spokesman for boxing great Muhammad Ali says the former heavyweight champion is being treated in a hospital for a respiratory issue.

Spokesman Bob Gunnell said Thursday that Ali is being treated by doctors as a precaution. He says that the 74-year-old is in fair condition, and that a brief hospital stay is expected.

Sad to see one of the last centuries greatest sporting icons looking so frail :(

74 is a very good age for a pro boxer to be fair. Hope he recovers well.

The greatest boxer ever. The greatest sportsman ever. The greatest man ever (after my dad).

Definitely one of the most remarkable human beings of the last 100 years, who also had an admirable recalcitrance.

Happens to all of us in the end but it's extra sad to see such a lion in decline.

Very true. You don't see many pro boxers of that age.



Even former ones!

I'd say he's not one of the greatest, he was absolutely the greatest of the 20th century.
