The boxing game has been good, so we need to give back. We have to teach young men how to be men.

A man that is a friend to everyone is an enemy to himself.
If Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don't ask how. Hitch him up.
It's not rage that drives me, it's competition.
I liked that title. I didn't want to lose it to anybody, but if I had to lose it, I'm glad I lost it to you. You're a good fighter and gonna be a great champ.
AWWW ON THE MAIL. The mail man delivers, once again!
There's ups and downs with boxing, layoffs are part of the sport and they can either help or hurt a guy.
I'm too fast. I'm too smart. I'm too pretty.
My stuff is direct. Critics have compared my writing style with boxing all the way back to 1978 when my first book of essays appeared: it was compared to Muhammad Ali's style.
I have great skills. I can fight anybody, anywhere, anytime. I have done it in the past. I am on a different level than everyone else in the game of boxing. Nobody taught me how to fight. I was born a fighter. Everybody else was taught. That is the difference. I would rather show them than talk about it.
I always put my boxing first.
I'm not a big drinker. I don't really drink at all. But my dad and his pals will want to have a good swally because their nerves will be in some state, man!
Boxing is fascinating. It's good for the soul to be made to feel clumsy.

I'm going to be slugged about and probably killed, but I love it and have to do something to keep fit.
I'm just trying to change my life because I'm not above killing any drug dealer for money.
I come from athletics and I have a pretty big boxing background, so I never really shy away or get nervous about the physical rigors of filmmaking.

I never get tired because it ain't energy that's being dispenced. It is GOD speaking through me.
I don't know that person anymore, that guy in '86, '87. I don't know that guy no more. I don't have no affinity for that guy no more. I have no affinity for the guy who said, 'I am the greatest fighter God produced. ' I have no affinity for the guy who said he would try to push his [opponent's] nose bone up into his brain. I just don't know that guy. I don't know who he is. I don't know where he came from. I don't have no kind of connection with him no more.
My kid could move like a lightweight
