Because Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and consistently entertained sportscasters like Howard Cosell with quotes and poetry he was given that title. Worthy Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali Quotes include:

  • "I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was".
  • "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".
  • "Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life".
  • "I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own".
  • "I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest".
  • "It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am".
  • "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".
  • There are more pleasant things to do than beat up on people".
