If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.

My only fault is that I don't realize how great I really am.

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

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.

Floyd Paterson and other fighters, they just don't take part.They make a million dollars, they get a Rolls Royce and a nice home and a white wife and think, 'well, I made it'.

I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
