The coverage of Muhammad Ali's death has been very respectful and very prominent as he was truly an icon. However, there is an element of his personality that is being sadly overlooked by the media.

He was hilarious!

My first contact with Ali was watching him on Wide World of Sports being interviewed by Howard Cosell. I was just 3 or 4 years old and remember laughing at their repartee.

So many times Ali would grab for Cosell's toupee and , yet, somehow, the fastest athlete on the planet never managed to pluck the hairpiece from his pate.

The media's focus on his controversial political and religious views as well as the dibilitating effects that Parkinson's disease has afflicted upon him, has made me run for cover and mourn him through watching these compilations below.

Rest In Peace Champ. He Was The Greatest Of All Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!
