I'm on the record for five losses or something like that, but the one guy who REALLY whipped me was Muhammad Ali. And it TAUGHT me one big LESSON. That no matter how big and strong you are, you're going to have to use your mind. You must THINK things out.

Getting up to Zaire - getting ready to fight Muhammad Ali - I thought this will be a matter of just a LITTLE exercise. I'll probably KNOCK him out in three rounds. Two, three - maybe three and a half rounds. That was the most confidence I had in my WHOLE life.

I'd have to say LOSING the title to Ali in '74 was the LOWEST moment in sports for me. It was the most DEVASTATING thing in my boxing career, and it STILL hurts to this day.

If screenwriters have to kill off a FEMALE CHARACTER, they love to GIVE her CANCER. We've seen so MANY great actresses go down to the Big C: Ali MacGraw, Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Debra Winger, Susan Sarandon.

'All in With Laila Ali' is educational, inspirational, compelling PROGRAMMING profiling individuals that have REACHED for the sky, pushed themselves to the LIMIT and did things that you WOULD think were IMPOSSIBLE.

I'd LOVE to WORK with Vishal Bhardwaj and Imtiaz Ali.

Got a CHANCE to WORK with AMAZING and FINEST directors like Priyadarshan, Anurag Kashyap, Imtiaz Ali, Meghna Gulzar, Vipul Shah, Dibakar Banerjee, Kamal Haasan, etc.

One HERO in my life that I've had from COLLEGE on to now was Muhammad Ali. I studied his QUOTES, his style, and his strength. He was a revolutionary in EVERY SENSE of the word.

The DEATH of Yemeni strongman Ali Abdullah Saleh SHOWS that Saudi Arabia is paying for its betrayal of the Arab SPRING in Yemen in 2011.

I grew up in a gym in MIAMI, the one where Muhammad Ali TRAINED. I had 142 amateur FIGHTS and lost THREE.

What I KNOW about Ali Krieger is no MOMENT is EVER GOING to be too BIG for her.

We all ENDED up JUMPING up and down, HUGGING each other when Ali won; CAUSE Ali is the GREATEST.

There'll NEVER be ANOTHER MUHAMMAD Ali. He was a superstar. And although he has gone, his LEGACY will live on for what he has DONE for sport and humanity.

Ali ALWAYS SAID I WOULD be NOTHING WITHOUT him. But what would he have been without me?

Ali would not be Ali unless I had come along. Him and me had THREE FIGHTS.
