Muhammad Ali

I don’t see no black and white couples in England or America walking around proud holding their children and going out.

I don’t smoke but I keep a match box in my pocket, when my heart slips towards sin, I burn the matchstick and heat my palm with it, then say to myself, ‘Ali you can’t even bear this heat, how would you bear the unbearable heat of hellfire?’

I figure I’ll be champ for about ten years and then I’ll let my brother take over – like the Kennedys down in Washington.

I give thanks to God and to all the people in the U.K. who have supported me over the years.

I got it made the rest of my life, financially and in every other way. There’s nobody in the world like me. I’m getting out just in time. If I was twenty seven, I could still kick ass. I don’t have to beat Holmes. Why? I raised him, he worked three years as a sparring partner for me.

I got nothing against no Viet Cong. No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger.

Muhammad Ali

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

Muhammad Ali

I had my style of moving and dancing and whatever I do. What you have to do, is take all the fighters you want and me and rank me where you want. I can’t tell you.

Muhammad Ali

I have more fans and more followers and more supporters. Because the people who actually saw the Joe Frazier Muhammad Ali fight, they saw me win at least nine rounds – the people who know boxing.

Muhammad Ali

I just felt the power and the meanness of the man I was messing with.
