Great fighter! Probably unknown to alot of people under 40. He was raw power and grit. Look him up kids watch the reels. Ali is not the same boxer he became without Joe
🥊 “I don’t mind people want to think Muhammad is the greatest fighter around. Everybody wants to make him great because of his mouth, that he was the best. He was good, but that doesn’t make him great. I proved that.”
“This ultimate fighting stuff is something I don’t agree with. Once a man is down, you have to let him have a chance to prove how good he is.”
“Had my own car at twelve years old. Left school in the tenth grade. Married when I was sixteen. Ain’t hard to figure out; I was a man at a very young age.”
“Twenty years I’ve been fighting Ali, and I still want to take him apart piece by piece and send him back to Jesus.”
“It was all about the ring. That’s where you got your brains shook and the money took.”
“There are places on a man’s head that are as hard as a rock. Your head’s actually stronger than your body. And you don’t have too many instruments up there workin.”
“I know my destiny. I was born into animosity, bigotry and hatred. We had water for white folks, and water for coloured folks. White lines, black lines. I came from Beaufort in South Carolina, and it was tougher than Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.”
