What are the odds that two of the very top elite athletes of all time would die within a few days of each other? Whatever you think of Ali and Howe I think you would have to rank each within the top five of their respective sports, with Ali as high as number one in boxing, and Howe as high as number three in hockey. (Gretzky ranked him first but I think he was just being polite. In the same conversation, Howe ranked Orr first and Orr ranked Gretzky first.)
