I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long.

I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.

Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016) was an iconic American boxer and humanitarian activist. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Ali won a gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics and captured the world heavyweight title for the first time in 1964. He was renowned for his unique fighting style, blending speed, agility, and unparalleled footwork, often preceded by his bold confidence and catchphrases like 'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.' Following his conversion to Islam and renaming himself Muhammad Ali, he became a controversial and inspiring figure. His refusal to be drafted into the army during the Vietnam War in 1967 led to the stripping of his title and a three-and-a-half-year ban from boxing. However, he made a triumphant return in 1970. Ali was more than just a boxer; he used his platform to speak out against racism and social injustice, becoming a symbol of resistance and empowerment for many. His battle with Parkinson's disease, diagnosed in 1984, was fought with the same determination he showed in the ring. He passed away in 2016, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most important and influential athletes of the 20th century.
