I Am The Greatest By Muhammad Ali
This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
The most beautiful fighter in the world today.
He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y,
Of a muscular punch that’s incredibly speed-y.
The fistic world was dull and weary, but with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary.
Then someone with color and someone with dash, brought fight fans are runnin’ with Cash.
This brash young boxer is something to see and the heavyweight championship is his destiny.
This kid’s got a left, this kid’s got a right, if he hit you once, you’re asleep for the night.
~ I ain’t draft dodging. I ain’t burning no flag. I ain’t running to Canada. I’m staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I’ve been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain’t going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I’ll die right here, right now, fightin’ you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won’t even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won’t even stand up for my right here at home.~ Muhammed Ali~ An American hero because he stood up for his beliefs.
It is now believed Sonny Liston took a fall in this fight due to owing tons of money to some bad people. Hope that didn’t ruin anyones day, sorry.
@BowToMe: He did. Ali would’ve beat him anyway due to his poor training regimen, but that fact tainted the fight.
Ali’s kicking ass in tonight’s debate.
@phil
What the fuck are you talking about? That is clearly Samuel L. Jackson debating president McCain.
It is also said that this isn’t him gloating and celebrating, but yelling at Liston to get up because he never touched him.
