Muhammad Ali: Famous Quotes By: Jerry J
Float Like a butterfly, sting like a bee… • This quote Ali repeated many times before his match between defending heavyweight champion, Sonny Liston. This turned out to be his plan, because, as he said “You can’t hit what you can’t see.” Liston had muscle on him, but Ali had speed. Ali did not look intimidating at first, just looked like an arrogant loser, but by the 12th round, Liston was down and Ali was looking down on him.
Victory • “Champions have it deep inside them – a dream, a desire, a vision. They have the last minute stamina. They have to be a little faster. They have to have the will and the skill. But the will must be greater than the skill.” • The thing that grabs you in this quote is the last sentence. “But the will must be greater than the skill.” In the Liston-Ali fight, Liston had skill, but no will. He thought Ali would be sobbing at the end of the first round. But Ali had will, the will to win, which he did.
