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

I outwit them, and then I outhit them

That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.

It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.

Champions have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

I don't smoke but I keep a match box in my pocket, when my heart slips towards sin, I burn the matchstick and heat my palm with it, then say to myself, "Ali you can't even bear this heat, how would you bear the unbearable heat of hellfire?"

I can love freedom and the flesh and blood of my people moreso than I do the money.
