Ali kept calling me ugly, but I never thought of myself as being any uglier than him, I have 11 babies, somebody thought I was cute.

Since I was a boy of five or six, I had it in my mind I would be a world boxing champion.

Joe Frazier's life didn't start with Ali. I was a Golden Gloves champ. Gold medal in Tokyo '64. Heavyweight champion of the world long before I fought Ali in the Garden.

I had my Olympic gold medal cut up into eleven pieces. Gave all eleven of my kids a piece. It'll come together again when they put me down.

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

Champions aren't made in the ring, they are merely recognized there.

I want to hit him, step away and watch him hurt. I want his heart.
