It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.
Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right - when he knocks you down, you'll sleep for the night; and when you lie on the floor and the ref counts to ten, hope and pray that you never meet me again.

On beating Sonny Liston

He was supposed to kill me. Well I am still alive.

Before fighting Sonny Liston

I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick.
Why, chump, I bet you scare yourself to death just starin’ in the mirror. You ugly bear. You never fought nobody but tramps and has-beens. You call yourself a world champion? You’re too old and slow to be a champion.

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.
