The Legend and his Bulova Commercial

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I’m in a world of my own.

If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologise.

I’m so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark. 

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”

I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.

It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

I’m No 1. After me, it don’t matter.
