What are three things Muhammed Ali is afraid of?
This is an opinion and I'm going to say he has no fear: "Now you see me, now you don't. George thinks he will, but I know he won't!"Muhammad Ali taunting George Foreman "...a fighter can condition his body to go hard certain rounds, then to coast certain rounds."Muhammad Ali "You may talk about Sweden, you may talk about Rome,but Rockville Center's Floyd Patterson's home.A lot of people said that Floyd couldn't fight,but you should have seen him on the comeback night."Muhammad Ali "Old age is just a record of one's whole life."Muhammad Ali "Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change."Muhammad Ali "We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last."Muhammad Ali "Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise."Muhammad Ali "To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich."Muhammad Ali "It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe."Muhammad Ali "Float like a butterfly.Sting like a bee.Your hands can't hitwhat your eyes can't see."Muhammad Ali "My way of joking is to tell the truth.That's the funniest joke in the world."Muhammad Ali "Love is a net that catches hearts like a fish."Muhammad Ali "Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer."Muhammad Ali "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize."Muhammad Ali "Frazier is so ugly he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life."Muhammad Ali "I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them."Muhammad Ali "All I want now is to be a nice, clean gentleman. I've proved my point. Now I'm going to set an example for all the nice boys and girls. I'm through talking."Muhammad Ali meeting with reporters on the morning after the Sonny Liston fight "I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want."Muhammad Ali "A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow. I have seen the light and I'm crowing."Muhammad Ali "LaLaLand gossips say Joe Frazier ain't happy with his characterization in movie Ali. Sez he should have been consulted since he has a memory and Ali doesn't."Blackie Sherrod, The Dallas Morning News, 1/27/02 "Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths."Muhammad Ali "I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest.

Islam is peace."Muhammad Ali speaking on September 21, 2001 at a fundraiser for victims of the WTC and Pentagon attacks. "Prejudice comes from being in the dark; sunlight disinfects it."Muhammad Ali "Ain't no reason for me to kill nobody in the ring."Muhammad Ali's comment after the fight with Jimmy Ellis in July 1971 stopped by the referee in the twelfth round. "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses-behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights."Muhammad Ali "I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark."Muhammad Ali "People don't realize what they had till it's gone. Like President Kennedy - nobody like him. Like The Beatles, there will never be anything like them. Like my man, Elvis Presley - I was the Elvis of boxing.''Muhammad Ali "It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am."Muhammad Ali "Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating.

"It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself."Muhammad Ali "Champions aren't made in gyms.
