Ali had a break that was an inch and a half long, and you keep getting hit as hard and as much as I hit Ali, the pain would take over and you would pass out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hitting Ali in the body or on the arms was like hitting a piece of cement.
Ali would not be Ali unless I had come along. Him and me had three fights.
Ali was a guy that had a lot of discipline. If you hung around him, you'd be able to get some of that discipline that he had. And I learned from that. He was a sweet man.
We all ended up jumping up and down, hugging each other when Ali won; cause Ali is the greatest.
Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right - when he knocks you down, you'll sleep for the night; and when you lie on the floor and the ref counts to ten, hope and pray that you never meet me again.
I hated Ali. God might not like me talking that way, but it's in my heart.
'Ali' offers stunning re-creations of bouts Ali fought.

Ali was a legend of our sport. For me as a kid, he inspired me to represent myself like a champion in and out of the ring.
Ali and I have become friends over the years. I was on a plane with him one time when he was the champion.
I think Ali was a fan of mine, even though he never said it. A lot of fighters thought I was pretty good. Nobody every really spoke different on that. But a lot of fighters thought I was good so.
