i think the best part of about muhammad ali american that that of being a great athlete or even a great boxer was his mere presence. we get into the ring, and you weren't fighting a boxer. you weren't fighting a slugger, you were having to contend with the presence of one of the greatest human beings that i ever met in my life. he was a great man. how do you fight a great man? because you don't hit him with a jab, you don't hit him way right hand am you have to hit him back with greatness. and i think that if you look for the best boxer, don't look to muhammad ali. if you look for the greatest puncher, don't look to muhammad ali am but if you are looking for the greatest presence that was ever in the ring, you look to muhammad ali. >> i'm going to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see. >> this morning i woke up with this eerie feeling that he's not there any more. it's not a wonderful feeling to wake up and your friend is gone.
