Muhammad Ali in 'Grave Condition' in Phoenix Hospital
Quote:
Muhammad Ali is in "grave condition" in a Phoenix-area hospital, a well-informed source tells NBC News, as the boxing legend continues to battle a respiratory condition.
The 74-year-old former heavyweight champion's family has gathered by his bedside just a day after he had been hospitalized in what spokesman Bob Gunnell said Thursday was to be a "brief" stay.
May he find peace. He was so much more than just an amazingly-talented boxer. But it was all those head punches that ultimately took him down, many years later. His courage and conviction lent strength to so many others in the fight for social justice; let him be remembered for that as well as his athletic talent.
