'Muhammad amazed me, I'll admit it. He outthought me, outfought me. That night, he was just the better man in the ring. Before the fight, I thought I'd knock him out easy. One round, two rounds. I was very confident. And what I remember most about the fight was, I went out and hit Muhammad with the hardest shot to the body I ever delivered to any opponent. Anybody else in the world would have crumbled. Muhammad cringed; I could see it hurt. And then he looked at me; he had that look in his eyes, like he was saying I'm not gonna let you hurt me. And that's the main thing I remember about the fight.'

'Only a small part of a champion's greatness lies in his ability. Far more important is his eagerness to learn, his flair for adding finesse and polish to his style. Most important of all is his love of the game. Every great champion was once a beginner. Without this essential love for the sport, he would always remain a beginner.'

'What was it like to be Ali’s fight doctor? It was like being Queen Victoria’s gynecologist. The title didn’t mean much, but the view was spectacular.'
