Ali and I have become friends over the years. I was on a plane with him one time when he was the champion.
Robert Goulet
Ali had a break that was an inch and a half long, and you keep getting hit as hard and as much as I hit Ali, the pain would take over and you would pass out.
Ken Norton
Ali was a guy that had a lot of discipline. If you hung around him, you'd be able to get some of that discipline that he had. And I learned from that. He was a sweet man.
Larry Holmes
Ali... we should have gone to see that movie. Malcolm X was another one.
Cicely Tyson
Ali's belief in himself was something I picked up on, and it's become my own philosophy.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Ali's daughter is fighting and Joe Frazier's daughter is fighting as well.
Robert Goulet
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
But if you cover the World Series on the news or do a feature on an Ali boxing match then all of a sudden ears go up all over the place and people say what the hell are you doing. The reason for that is that we're doing something that people are really interested in.
Roone Arledge
Do you remember a scene with Ryan and Ali playing in the snow? Well, that was improvised.
Arthur Hiller
Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Hitting Ali in the body or on the arms was like hitting a piece of cement.
Ken Norton
I did not choose necessarily on the basis of significance. If you have a vote for the most significant athlete, then you have Ali, then you have Babe Ruth, then you have Michael Jordan.
Dick Schaap
I think Ali was a fan of mine, even though he never said it. A lot of fighters thought I was pretty good. Nobody every really spoke different on that. But a lot of fighters thought I was good so.
Larry Holmes
I think on balance, Don King has been bad for boxing. I think he's done some very good things and I think he did a heck of a job of promoting Ali but I think I could have promoted Ali.
Dick Schaap
I was right to back Muhammad Ali, but it caused me major enmity in many areas of this nation.
Howard Cosell
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.
Jay-Z
I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realise that now.
R. Kelly
In fifty years of covering the sport, of course Muhammad Ali is by far the dominant figure.
Dick Schaap
It's obvious that they're going to want Ali's daughter and Frazier's daughter to fight it out.
Robert Goulet
Many a treasure besides Ali Baba's is unlocked with a verbal key.
