I know it's been done 100 times before, but anyway, I wanted to share some of my favourite Ali quotes:

"At home I am a nice guy - but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far."

"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."

"I am America. I am the part you won't recognise, but get used to me. Black, confident, cocky. My name, not yours. My religion, not yours. My goals, my own. Get used to me."

"It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am."

"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."

"If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologise."

"I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick."

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see."


"Maybe my Parkinson's is God's way of reminding me what is important. It slowed me down and caused me to listen rather than talk. Actually, people pay more attention to me now because I don't talk as much."



"I won't miss fighting - fighting will miss me."

Joe Frazier is so ugly that when he sweats it runs around to the back of his head just to get away from his face

Joe Frazier: Your son kinda looks like me
Ali: You calling my son ugly?

My personal favourite is:

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

I'm pretty sure Ali wasn't the first to say that.



Others I like are:

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.


It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

My favourites are from the famous Playboy interview...

"Raping, patting, mischief, abusing, showing our women disrespect -- a man should die for that"

From the man who took his mistress to Rumble in the Jungle...

I like the apocrypha quote from the air stewardess and her reply to Superman not needing a seat belt, if it did actually happen.

But aside from that most of the best ones are above, the thinking of beating me is probably the best. But ones missed:

On his illness:

"It wasn't the boxing. It was the autographs"
