LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A spokesman for Muhammad Ali says the former heavyweight boxing champion has been hospitalized with a mild case of pneumonia.

Spokesman Bob Gunnell said Saturday night that the 72-year-old boxing great is being treated by his team of doctors and is in stable condition.

Gunnell says Ali was admitted to an undisclosed hospital Saturday. He says Ali's prognosis is good because the pneumonia was caught early and that a short hospital stay is expected.

He says no other details are being released due to the Ali family's request for privacy.

Any elderly person with pneumonia is a terrible look regardless of early reports. Im glad they caught it early and really hope it doesnt get worse. If anyone is a fighter...its him.

Has he been out in public lately? I saw him in AZ like 5 years ago and he looked really bad and could barely walk on his own. He definitely didn't look like he was in any kind of shape to be battling pneumonia unless he had improved considerably since then.

C/S. Pneumonia at that age even mild is dangerous. I hope he pulls through I'm not ready for him to go, one of the last real heroes worth looking up to left.

Crazy I was just looking at a 2015 Ali calendar thinking I might cop earlier today. Hopefully he pulls through..I was hospitalized twice with it as a youth.

Ali has been confined to a wheelchair atleast as early as 2012, i can't even remember the last time he's made an public appearance.
