True giving happens when we give from our heart.

I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.

Someone stole my bicycle and I said I was going to learn to fight so that I could catch him and beat him up. But I never did catch him. But I ended up the champ of the whole world.

I try not to speak about all the charities and people I help, because I believe we can only be truly generous when we expect nothing in return.

Joe Frazier is ugly. He has no rhythm, no footwork, no class, he cannot talk.

I said a lot of things in the heat of the moment that I shouldn't have said. Called him names I shouldn't have called him. I apologise for that. I'm sorry. It was all meant to promote the fight.

My face is so pretty, you don’t see a scar, which proves I’m the king of the ring by far.
