Quotes
Archie's been living off the fat of the land. <br /> I'm here to give him his pension plan. <br /> When you come to the fight don't block the door. <br /> 'Cause you'll all go home after round four.

I think Terrell will catch hell at the sound of the bell. <br /> He's going around saying that he's a championship-fighter, <br /> but when he meets me he fall 20 pound lighter. <br /> He thinks that he's the real heavy weight champ <br /> but when he meets me, he'll just be a tramp <br /> Now I'm not sayin' just to be funny, but I'm fightin' Ernie because he needs the money.

Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.

I never thought of losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

I've got a lot of white associates. Elijah Muhammad, is the one who preached that the white man of America, number one, is the Devil. He's been preaching — he never mentioned England. England's people have never lynched us, raped us, castrated us, tarred and feathered us, burned us up, pulled our sockets apart, stick knives in pregnant women's stomachs, enslaved us, rob us of our names, our knowledge, our — Elijah Mohammad's been preaching that the white man of America – God taught him – is the blue-eyed, blond-headed Devil! No good in him, no justice, he's gonna be destroyed! His rule is over. He is the Devil!

This is the legend of Cassius Clay, <br /> The most beautiful fighter in the world today. <br /> He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y, <br /> Of a muscular punch that's incredibly speedy. <br /> The fistic world was dull and weary, <br /> But with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary. <br /> Then someone with color, someone with dash, <br /> Brought fight fans a-runnin' with cash. <br /> This brash young boxer is something to see. <br /> And the heavyweight championship is his destiny. <br /> This kid fights great. He's got speed and endurance. <br /> But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance. <br /> This kid's got a left. This kid's got a right. <br /> If he hits you once, you're asleep for the night. <br /> And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten, <br /> you pray that you won't have to fight me again. <br /> For I am the man this poem is about, <br /> the next champ of the world, there isn't a doubt....
