Why are they picking on boxing? It's because the black men are so superior in boxing that they want to stop it. Well, the black man's so hungry he's got to fight.

I’ve wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning And throw thunder in jail. You know I’m bad. just last week, I murdered a rock, Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.

I just won the gold medal and I couldn't eat downtown. I said, 'Something's wrong.' And from then on, I've been a Muslim.

It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.

Stay away from the ropes

When a chivalrous man makes an oath, he is faithful to it, and when he attains power, he spares his enemy.
