Put yourself out on a limb, sucka, like me! - young Cassius Clay to heavily favored thug Sonny Liston during the weigh in before Cassius wins his first title and changes his name to Muhammad Ali.
- Muhammad Ali
And I remember leaving my place in L.A. and - my father is a big fight fan - and I said, 'Dad, I got a couple of days off and I'm getting ready to go to Houston to sign to fight Muhammad Ali.
- Wilt Chamberlain
That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn't entirely conquer - he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.
- Hunter S Thompson
Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh.
- Gerry Cooney
I was right to back Muhammad Ali, but it caused me major enmity in many areas of this nation.
- Howard Cosell
It's all in her walk, a cartoon swagger. Part Jayne Mansfield, part Muhammad Ali. Men never know if it's an invitation upstairs or an invitation outside.
- Emma Forrest
Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.
- Larry Holmes
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
- Jayz
When I turned pro, Muhammad Ali was laying back, and I was able to fill up an area that was empty.
- Sugar Ray Leonard
Muhammad Ali is a combination of personality and athlete who is probably better known around the world than any other. He became a great hero.
- Will Mcdonough
Then you get into it, especially if you start talking about football, fighting and Muhammad Ali. Then the ladies get very bored and start delivering ultimatums.
- Oliver Reed
In fifty years of covering the sport, of course Muhammad Ali is by far the dominant figure.
