"For this fight, I’ve wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning and thrown thunder in jail. You know I’m bad. Just last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick. I’m so fast, man, I can run through a hurricane and not get wet. I can drown the drink of water, and kill a dead tree". - Muhammad Ali
"Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths." Muhammad Ali
It dont matter what disease contacts him, whether parkinson or anything else!! that dnt men nothing!!! Because for hundreds of thousands of years to come, till the end of time, till mankind, the human race exists, there will be men and women from every colour, religion, ethnicity and country who will tell their grand children : " Once Upon A Time Lived A Man They Called THE GREATEST "
Zubair Ismail via fb Ali was a great boxer in his time...he brought speed and agility to a cumbersome division! His taunts created excitement in his bouts! He was dynamic in and out of the ring! As for being the greatest boxer of all time...i think the jury is still out on that one! There wer many other great boxers over the years...Frazier,Liston , Marciano to name a few!
Imtiaz Bhamjee via fb the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time in the ring and out of the ring.his records speak for them self.50 yrs on and people still remember his fights.lots of gud fighters past and present but ali stands out from them all.
Mohammad Afzal Mahomed via fb U know the joke? He said "I am the Greatest". Molvi reckon " astagfirullah"sum1 boxed his lights out and said "I am the latest!"

Hassen Boots Tilly via fb his ability to leave a lasting impression on peoples hearts and mind made him the greatest boxer mind over matter and breaking basrriers that noman in his time ventured to do via boxing made him the world greatest Float like a butterfly n sting like a bee
HE HE. Ya.In Rumble in the Jungle Ali trained and ran in the streets with the people. Ali had a mouth. I was also a Prince Naseem Fan and currently I think Mayweather is afraid of Pacio.Watched Hangover and seen Mike Tyson knock out Fat Jesus. Tyson also was a beast. Azee do you remember our very own Gerri Coetsee. All in all ,even the Plaza Toppies agreed Ali was the Greatest. The video on the blog enhances this
"Allah is the Greatest. I'm just the greatest boxer." -As quoted in "Interview with Muhammad Ali" at SoundVision.com
Response to George Plimpton, question at the end of an interview: "What would you like people to think about you when you've... gone?" "I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love, he took one tablespoon of patience, teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter, one pinch of concern, and then, he mix willlingness with happiness, he added lots of faith, and he stired it up well, then he spreads it over his span of a lifetime, and he served it to each and every deserving person he met." -Ali
"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
Many of us never realize that the reason we cannot give our best under pressure situation is not lack of talent,it's not lack of hard work but it's our fear of failure
