Today's been just a dry run run for his death, hasn't it?

He'd better leave it a little while before going...
Derby Dead Pool showrunner...


"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."

Yeah. Given that they've made such a big fuss over this birthday, I can't help but think it may be because it's probably his last. There's no other reason to do it...

It's at least his last big birthday. He won't make it to 80. I'd give him 4 years at the most.

Given he is on this years list, I would like to give him less than 1 year at most.

I was interested to see what role "The Greatest" was to have, after it was known he was in town. Ali looked quite unwell and I for one hope he found it solice to be asked to appear in the London Games opening ceremony. Just to touch in Olympic flag was a ordeal for him and his wife, so the rest of his life must be very troublesome. Never-the-less quite a happy moment during a sad long illness.

I thought having him appear seemed unnecessarily cruel when it appears that he can't even stand unaided. If he pulls through this year he should be kept on for 2013, doesn't look like he has long to go

I agree I thought it was just so sad , like they wheeled him out . His wife or whoever it was , was shouting at him to wave .

I think he is angry inside but can't show it . Definitely shouldn't of been apart of the show .

I don't know that he's near death, but I would venture that's the last public appearance he should be at. I hope they don't keep wheeling him out. I know why they do, but it just makes him some kind of sideshow freak and nulls the amazement factor of him being there.

The cruel thing about Parkinson's is often that you get progressively worse but you often need something else to actually kill you.

What's the consensus on his health. I'm wondering weather or not to change his colour coding to red (very close) on my long list for 2013 or not...??? How long do you think he can or can't keep going? I'm not really too familiar with Parkinson's.

I'd be surprised if he made it to 75. I'd definitely keep on eye on him, even if he's not on the brink of death.

Muhammad Ali isn't going to die anytime soon and neither will his public appearances\autograph sessions. I doubt that he would be able to step in the ring with someone like George Foreman but if he is too jittery to sign on the dotted line at an autograph session maybe he could give someone a left hook to the abdomen instead and some fans would sign up for that. The two members who contributed above this post probably wouldn't be able to withstand a shot from the legendary Muhammad Ali and that's why he wouldn't want to hit them.

The fact is that Parkinson's progresses over time and largely reduces life expectancy. Ali has been showing symptoms of Parkinson's since he was 38, and he is now in his early 70's. Doesn't matter how hard he can punch me in the gut.

He puts the will to live down to his religion and still speaks out - as much as he can - about it. Did so to David Frost earlier this year.

Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.
