best everybody fighter good great greatest mind muhammad people proved wants
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.
jobs people guy
I had a job to do in the ring, and the businessmen around me had a job to do outside the ring, I did my job by beating up most of the guys they put in front of me and staying in shape, but the people I trusted didn't do their jobs.
fighting people guy
I wasn't a big guy. People thought the big guys would eat me up. But it was the other way around. I loved to fight bigger guys.
chance heart hurt knock stand
I want to hurt him. If I knock him down, I'll stand back, give him a chance to breathe. It's his heart I want.

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.

When I go out there, I have no pity on my brother. I'm out there to win.
Ali always said I would be nothing without him. But what would he have been without me?

Preaching don't mean you are a true man. You got to go out and do.

Twenty years I've been fighting Ali, and I still want to take him apart piece by piece and send him back to Jesus.
I don't want to be no more than what I am.

Trust me. Sometimes God comes down and puts his hand on you if you're too big in your thoughts.

When you work for me, you don't say good things about Ali.
kinda left scratched steel
My left eye went when I was young. I was working the speed bag, and some steel went in the eye and scratched it to pieces. I was kinda blind in that eye.
