    That is a sad one.

    Boxing is like sex. The more you have it the less you appreciate it and start to wear women's underwear.

    Float like a butterfly sting like a bee – his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.

    It’s hard to be humble when you’re as great as I am.

    I’m not the greatest. I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ‘em out, I pick the round. I’m the boldest, the prettiest, the most superior, most scientific, most skillfullest fighter in the ring today.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I never liked this quote because it just isn't true, a lot of the most recognized and appreciated names in Jazz are also among the very best, and what the hell would George Foreman know about it
