A list of over one hundred quotes and saying
from Muhammad Ali:
"No I can beat
this sucker"
In response to Angel Dundee during his fight
with Ken Norton when Ali broke his jaw. Angelo Dundee wanted
to stop the fight but Ali carried on for another 10 rounds.
"I took a nobody
and created a monster. I put him on the dating game. I gave
him glory. Now I have to punish him bad"
On his rematch with Ken Norton.
"It's just a job.
Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I just beat
people up"
"Only a man knows
what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom
of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes
to win when the match is even"
"You're always
talking about, Muhammad, you're not the same man you were
10 years ago. Well, I asked your wife, and she told me you're
not the same man you was 2 years ago!"
Muhammad Ali retorts Howard Cosell prior
to the Foreman fight.
"Howard Cosell
was going to be a boxer when he was a kid, only they couldn't
find a mouthpiece big enough"
Another jibe at Cosell.
"I've seen George
Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won"
"I'm so fast that
last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room
and was in bed before the room was dark"
"There are two
things that are hard to hit and see. That's a spooky ghost
and Muhammad Ali"
"I done wrestled
with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, Only last
week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick.
I'm so mean I make medicine sick"
Before The Rumble In The jungle October
1974.
