"Boxing is a lot of white men..." - Quote by Muhammad Ali

“Fifty years old, 212 fights, and I'm still pretty.”

“I didn't deny nothing I believe. I'm still the same everything.”

“There's nothing wrong with getting knocked down, as long as you get right back up.”

“I would say things like 'I am the greatest! I'm pretty! If you talk jive, you'll drop in five! I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I'm pretty!' When white people heard me talking like this, some said, 'That black man talks too much. He's bragging.'”

“Fifty years old, 212 fights, and I'm still pretty.”

“Boxing is just to introduce me to the struggle. Like, when I speak I draw people in the States to teach them various things or to give them dignity, pride and self-help. I have to help the dope and prostitution problem.”

“I'm African American / I'm African / I'm black as the moon.”

“Who is the descendant of the slavemasters a descendant of slaves to fight other people in thier own country?”

“The same people that are with me for not going to Vietnam because I saved them and their children.The same people will give me hell if I turn to them and say, 'let's free my people now'.They're with me on one part of my beliefs about the war, that's all. Not for my freedom.”
