43 Memorable Quotes Of late Muhammed Ali

Comical one-liners and Boxing braggadocio!; Muhammad Ali was a loudmouth threat tothe 'boxing establishment'. Muhammad Ali could make heavyweight rivals Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston and George Foreman feel like unwitting participants at their own roast.

Muhammad Ali mouth roared, never bored, with wit as sharp as a sword, who went full bore into each fight with a silver tongue and heavyweight gold.
No one could say it better than Ali.
