Sonny Liston is nothing. The man can't talk. The man can't fight. The man needs talking lessons. The man needs boxing lessons. And since he's gonna fight me, he needs falling lessons.

Being Ali's doctor is somewhat like being gynacologist to the Queen of England. One does not have to do much to receive good press.

God gave me Parkinson's syndrome to show me I'm not 'The Greatest' - he is.

Believe me, a thousand friends suffice thee not; In a single enemy thou hast more than enough.

Parkinson's is my toughest fight. No, it doesn't hurt. It's hard to explain. I'm being tested to see if I'll keep praying, to see if I'll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.

I say get an education. Become an electrician, a mechanic, a doctor, a lawyer, anything but a fighter. In this trade, it's the managers that make the money and last the longest.

The crowd did not dream when they laid down their money that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny!
