Muhammad Ali said plenty of things, some of his words became timeless quotes.
There was only one Muhammad Ali, and we all know what kind of personality he embodied. A legend by nature, character, and his expertise in one of the most brutal sports in the world. Some may call him a controversial figure due to his nonchalant attitude and boisterous nature. However, that doesn’t diminish the fact that Ali was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century and remains a sporting icon who continues to inspire us.
Regardless, the Ali we knew had a certain charm about him. Whatever he said, even with its flaws and unorthodox style, was worth listening to. It was entertaining and carried immense weight in his iconic quotes.
“The Louisville Lip,” a boxer-poet who danced like a butterfly, stung like a bee, and roared like a lion. Muhammad Ali. He shook up the world not just in rings, but on streets, chanting for equality. From Olympic gold to draft defiance, his fists spoke truth, his words sparked change.
A champion thrice dethroned, he rose against racism, war, and illness, his indomitable spirit shining brighter than any trophy. Ali, more than a fighter, a beacon of defiance, a whisper of hope, a roar for justice. His legacy, a canvas painted with courage, splashed with victory, and forever etched in our hearts.
So here is the list of most inspirational quotes from Muhammad Ali:
1) I’m young, I’m handsome; I’m fast. I can’t possibly be beat.
2) If you even dream of beating me, you’d better wake up and apologise.
