This boldness in telling the truth overshadows sport greatly. You couldn't get Joe Frazier or no boxer on this show and get interest in a subject like this. He couldn't talk about it.

I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. Don't tell me I can't do something. Don't tell me it's impossible. Don't tell me I'm not the greatest. I'm the double greatest.

If Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don't ask how. Hitch him up.

We black people, as a whole, are at war we'll say with the white power structure. Not physically, but we have definite protests to win the battle.

You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.

We're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.

I have more fans and more followers and more supporters. Because the people who actually saw the Joe Frazier Muhammad Ali fight, they saw me win at least nine rounds - the people who know boxing.
