Melihat Kedekatan Apple dan Muhammad Ali

Tidak hanya Apple, pesohor-pesohor dunia juga mengungkapkan rasa dukanya. Kebanyakan, pesohor itu memanfaatkan media sosial, seperti Twitter dan Instagram.

David Beckham, contohnya. Mantan pemain Manchester United itu memberikan penghormatan kepada Ali via Instagram. Becks mengutip perkataan populer sang legenda.

"Mustahil bukan sebuah fakta, melainkan opini. Mustahil bukan suatu deklarasi, melainkan keberanian. Mustahil adalah potensi. Mustahil bersifat sementara. Kemustahilan itu tidak ada," demikian potongan kutipan di Instagram Beckham.

 

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I was in the air last night flying from Atlanta to London when I got the text from a close friend that within' a few hours we were going to lose Muhammad. Ali inspired myself and generations around the world to be hungry to achieve, work as hard as you possibly can, to be a great as you possibly can be and make sure that not a day goes by where you don't do your absolute best to make the world smile and feel good. Feel inspired. And feel that no matter how hard times may be, there's always hope for tomorrow. From hanging out with you in New Zealand as this little punk kid, to years later as a WWE rookie when you whispered to me "Can you rumble?" to a few years later when you bestowed upon me "The People's Champ" moniker. I will always be grateful for the impact you've had on me. Thank you and I'll miss you. Much love and strength to the Ali family. Rest in love and light Champ. You'll always be the Greatest of All Time. And pretty. ????????????

Meski telah tiada, sosok Ali yang jujur dan apa adanya akan terus dikenang semua orang, khususnya di dunia tinju. Anak Ali yang juga petinju wanita, Laila Ali, menyampaikan terima kasih kepada semua orang yang mendoakan ayahnya.

Hingga kini, belum ada yang mengalahkan predikat Ali sebagai "The Gratest". Ia digadang-gadang sebagai petinju terhebat sepanjang masa dengan rekor 56 kemenangan dan lima kali kalah.
