Everyone has heard the " I am the greatest" speech by Muhammad Ali.

However he made so many more fantastic quotes which I believe proved his greatness out of the ring.

If you only know Muhammad Ali as a boxer please clink the link below and educate yourself about this remarkable and seriously brave man.

Let's take a look at some of the best ones regarding his boxing career but also life in general and see how they relate to our world today.

He had the courage of many men, and it's good advice in any time.

Job done.

The words of a true athlete.

Many opponents who woke up in the dressing room could vouch for that!

A poet.

A comedian.

Not hubris at all.

Starting to get deep.

Along with Martin Luther King Jnr. & Malcolm X he was prominent in the civil rights movement in the 60's.

He became deeply religious but without dogma.

As I'm sure you're aware later in life he became ill however he never lost the spark or the humour that made him so great.

I could go on and on, he made so many great speeches before fights or just about life, religion & oppression however you should look for yourselves. I grew up watching Ali and I loved the man he was just unique.

The word "Legend" is thrown around all to much these days but Ali truly was a living legend. There wasn't a place on earth where you could go where he wasn't known. He was the most famous man in the world.

For me that alone proves he really was the greatest.

I'll finish by letting you watch him in the ring and listen to him outside the ring. Because nobody can describe Ali better than the man himself.

Enjoy.
