I suddenly got obsessive about boxing and Muhammad Ali around the time he was fighting Joe Frazier. I went off and did boxing. I looked incredibly good in the gym.
Gary Oldman
On the change in his body that Ali`s intense physical training required: "I`m human viagra. I`m Willagra. I`m a sex machine now. I`m raring to go every second of the day. My wife`s loving it."
Will Smith
[on the weight training he did for Superman (1978)] I actually thought I was in pretty good shape before, but by the time we were done, I felt like I was ready to take on Muhammad Ali!
Christopher Reeve
[On whether or not acting is still challenging for him] The challenge? It`s always a challenge of a sort. It`s a challenge to get up and go and leave your family and go out there in all different parts of the world and do a picture and try to make it come...

Yesterday there were rumors that (OPEC president) Ali Rodriguez was going to push for pretty substantial production increases from OPEC, but what we`ve heard is that these production increases will be less than what was speculated, ... Yesterday had crude...

We would love to fight Laila Ali. We offered her $500,000 dec 28th of last year when we met with Ya Ya Mclaine. We offered her 1/2 a million guarantee and 75% of the PPV revenue -- she turned the fight down. We still to this day do not know why they would...
Brian Young
Then you get into it, especially if you start talking about football, fighting and Muhammad Ali. Then the ladies get very bored and start delivering ultimatums.
Oliver Reed
Muhammad Ali is a combination of personality and athlete who is probably better known around the world than any other. He became a great hero.
Andrew Magulick
Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.
Larry Holmes
It`s exciting to strike him out. He`s probably the best hitter to ever play baseball. You`re playing against the greatest. It`s like fighting Ali or something.
John Patterson
I was leery, skeptical, but the more I thought about it, the title says `world` champion, ... What made Muhammad Ali great is he fought all over the world, putting his name out there, stepping out, standing strong.
Lamon Brewster
I think on balance, Don King has been bad for boxing. I think he`s done some very good things and I think he did a heck of a job of promoting Ali but I think I could have promoted Ali.

I think Ali was a fan of mine, even though he never said it. A lot of fighters thought I was pretty good. Nobody every really spoke different on that. But a lot of fighters thought I was good so.
Larry Holmes
I don`t know how he hit it, ... It`s like fighting Ali. You make one little mistake, and he makes you pay. You realize, at some point, Barry`s going to get you.
John Patterson
I did not choose necessarily on the basis of significance. If you have a vote for the most significant athlete, then you have Ali, then you have Babe Ruth, then you have Michael Jordan.
Dick Schaap
But if you cover the World Series on the news or do a feature on an Ali boxing match then all of a sudden ears go up all over the place and people say what the hell are you doing. The reason for that is that we`re doing something that people are really in...
Roone Arledge
And I remember leaving my place in L.A. and - my father is a big fight fan - and I said, `Dad, I got a couple of days off and I`m getting ready to go to Houston to sign to fight Muhammad Ali.
