Muhammad Ali

Joe Frazier is an Uncle Tom. He's a white man in a black skin.

I'm gonna whup him so bad, he's gonna need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

I'm not going to be what you want me to be. I'm going to be what I want to be.

To make America the greatest country in the world, what you have to do is you have to kill all the white people.

If you are a Muslim, you don't fight in any war unless it's a Holy War.

I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing races. I don't believe in white people marrying black people.

My kids will be black. I ain't marrying no white woman. My children will be black.

The white man is the devil.

I was the first to refuse the draft. I was the first to speak out against the Vietnam War. I was the first to call the white man the devil.

I don't have to be what you want me to be. I am free to be me.

I don't smoke, but I keep a match box in my pocket. When my heart slips toward sin, I burn a match and heat my palm. Then I say to myself, 'Ali, you can't stand this heat, so how will you stand the heat of hell?'

I'm a bad man. I'm so bad I make medicine sick.

If you ever dream of beating me, you'd better wake up and apologize.

I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived, 'cause there ain't no black man that can remember all the words to the Star-Spangled Banner.

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.

I'm a Muslim. I believe in Allah and peace.

I'm not trying to be a smart guy, but I'm asking you, if you could be anything, what would you be?

I'm so bad I make good look bad.

I told you all, I'm a bad man! I'm a bad man! I'm a bad man!

I'm not the greatest, I'm the double greatest.
