“This is the legend of Cassius
Clay, The most beautiful fighter in the world today.He talks a great
deal, and brags indeed-y, of a muscular punch that's incredibly
speed-y.The fistic world was dull and weary,But with a champ like
Liston, things had to be dreary.Then someone with color and someone with
dash, Brought fight fans are runnin' with Cash.This brash young boxer is
something to see And the heavyweight championship is his des-tin-y.This
kid fights great; he’s got speed and endurance,But if you sign to fight him,
increase your insurance.This kid's got a left; this kid's got a right,If
he hit you once, you're asleep for the night.And as you lie on the floor
while the ref counts ten,You’ll pray that you won’t have to fight me
again.For I am the man this poem’s about,The next champ of the world,
there isn’t a doubt.This I predict and I know the score,I’ll be champ of
the world in ’64.When I say three, they’ll go in the third,10 months
agoSo don’t bet against me, I’m a man of my word.He is the greatest!
Yes!I am the man this poem’s about,I’ll be champ of the world, there
isn’t a doubt.Here I predict Mr. Liston’s dismemberment,I’ll hit him so
hard; he’ll wonder where October and November went.When I say two, there’s
never a third,Standin against me is completely absurd.When Cassius says
a mouse can outrun a horse,Don’t ask how; put your money where your mouse
is!I AM THE GREATEST!” ― Muhammad Ali

change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.” ― Muhammad Ali

hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car

Journey
“No one starts out on top. You
have to work your way up. Some mountains are higher than others, some roads
steeper than the next. There are hardships and setbacks, but you can't let them
stop you. Even on the steepest road, you must not turn back. You must keep going
up. In order to reach the top of the mountain, you have to climb every rock.”

never wanted to be great for themselves. All they wanted was the chance to do
good for others and to be close to God. I'm not perfect. I know that I still

have done that I am not proud of, especially when they caused pain to others. I
ask God for forgiveness.” ― Muhammad Ali

shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud

nationality, rape and kill my mother and father... Shoot them for what? How do I
got to go shoot them, poor little black people, little babies, children, and
women? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail.” ― Muhammad Ali
