I'm the biggest fighter in all history. I'm the greatest fighter in all history. I don't have to convince nobody now that I am great. They all know it. I'll fight any man in the world. I'll beat any man in the world. As you know, I'm a confident man. I don't believe I can see anyone beat me. Nothing worries me. This is nothing but a small thing that will soon be out of the way. I put everything on the line because I'm a true fighting champion.

I got them. When I'm in the ring, I'm having it. And I don't worry about nobody being that good to really hurt me, see. If you don't believe it, come down here and try it. I'm unranked. It will be no match. I'm so glad. I'm going to make all of them shut their mouths.

All of my critics, I told you all that I was the greatest of all time. I'm still the greatest of all time. I'm going to float like a butterfly and sing like a bee. His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see. Nothing can stop me. As you know, I've been on the all-time kind of person. All kind of pressures.

But look at my face. I'm the original champion, a veteran of 186 fights not a scratch, two-time United States Golden Glove champion, two-time United States National AAU champion, World Olympic champion, 13 rounds out of a victory for my men of all. He who is not courageous enough to take risk will accomplish nothing in life. I'm a risk taker. Tell all of the people out there who betting on Sonny that

I'm in such a high level until I don't think like you. I'm not like you. They just don't want to admit I'm as good as I am. What would you like people to think about you when you've gone? I'd like for them to say he took a few cups of love. He took one tablespoon of patience.

one teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness. He took one quart of laughter, one pinch of concern, and then he mixed willingness with happiness. He added lots of faith and he stirred it up well. Then he spread it over a span of a lifetime and he served it to each and every deserving person. Some people can see farther than others. Some people

are impressed with the limitations. We all live in our own world of limitations. Some people can see farther than others. So therefore, when people judge what I'm doing with their logic, it can't be done. Their reasoning says it shouldn't be done. Their knowledge of history says it can't be done. So their reasoning, their knowledge, and their logic clashes with my superior belief. Therefore, the result is they don't believe me.

Here's how the fight's going to sound on the radio for those who can't afford to buy the expensive PA seats. And the fight goes like this. Dean Ali comes out to meet Frazier, but Frazier starts to retreat.

If Frazier goes back an inch farther, he'll wind up in the ringside seat. Ali swings to the left, Ali swings to the right. Look at the kid carry the fight. Frazier keeps backing, but there's not enough room. It's a matter of time. There Ali lowers the boom. Now Ali lands to the right. What a beautiful swing. And the punch lets Frazier clean out of the ring.

I've had too many fights. I fought all contenders. I fought every two months. I gave everybody a break of the title. I didn't duck nobody. But really, I don't know who I'm going to fight next. And I really don't see nothing around good enough to give me a warm up. And I want to fight George Furman, knock him out, and truly retire well invested. Can you tell everybody that I'm still the champion of the world?

And I'm gonna take him, I'm gonna clean up the ring with him. I'm gonna just sweep him all around the ring. I am the champion. I'm still the greatest. And I cannot lose. I'm gonna prove to the whole world that I'm still the best. I'll always be the best. I cannot lose. It's impossible for me to lose. Are we gonna get the title back? Yes! Are we the king of the ring? Yes! Yes!

We cannot lose with the stuff we use! Everybody has a purpose in life. Mine was just to be the World Heavyweight Champion. I want to be declared by all as the greatest of all time! That's right! But I'm gonna make you eat everything you say against me, all of my critics! I am the greatest! I cannot lose, I'm pretty!

I'll prove to the world that I'm still the fastest, the prettiest, the most classiest, the most scientific, the greatest fighter of all time!

Wait till you see Muhammad Ali.

don't believe that i'm going to be knocked out and pushed around i've experienced this is why i know i'll win

And it's the fist that controls the brains and my brains are so wise. My brains beat Joe Frazier. I'll thank Ken Norton. I plan my fight round by round. See, I'll thank a man. See, the matador beats the bull. The bull is the strongest. Bull hits the hardest, but the matador is the smartest. Man conquered all the beasts in the jungle. He's got them in cages, but the beasts can whoop the man.

I told you, I'm the champion of the world. All of you bow. I'm not a fighter. I can't fight. I'm nothing. I've only had 250 fights, never lost none. World Olympic gold medal winner, two-time United States AAU champion, international Pan American game champion, national AAU champion, 59 and 60. I have predicted what round my opponents will fall in 16 fights. Don't have a mark on me, but I can't fight.

I'm the king of the world. I must be the greatest.
