I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.
Muhammad AliWe're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.
Muhammad AliI said to myself, 'the champion of the whole world can whoop every man in Russia, every man in America, every man in China, every man in Japan, every man in Europe - every man in the whole world'.It sounds big, didn't it? So I kept working until I did it.
Muhammad AliI would like to say that whites jumped right behind Malcolm X. Theyโre makinโ a book about him, itโs required readinโ in all colleges now, and theyโre makinโ a movie about him, and projectinโ him as the leader and if you read his book and see the movie thatโs cominโ out, itโll make you hate Elijah Mohammed and the Muslims. Mainly, this is done to turn the black people against the real leader and Iโd like to say that this is the way white people rule.
