For the black man to come out superior would be against America's teachings. I have been so great in boxing they had to create an image like Rocky, a white image on the screen, to counteract my image in the ring. America has to have its white images, no matter where it gets them. Jesus, Wonder Woman, Tarzan and Rocky.

If I kept my mouth shut, because I can make millions, that isn't doing nothing.

Joe Frazier is ugly. He has no rhythm, no footwork, no class, he cannot talk.

Boxing's a rough sport. After every fight I rush to the mirror to make sure I'm presentable.

I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

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

I don't count my situps. I only start counting once it starts hurting.
