You get these moments in the ring that live forever. That's what Muhammad Ali accomplished, and I hope that I have, too.

Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.

That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer - he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.

In boxing, I had a lot of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I thought, 'This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for'. No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.

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.
