60 years old today. Would have been neat to see you in your prime.

You could tell him he is 20 today, he wouldn't know the difference.

He was a spectacular fighter!

In his prime he was one of the greats. He hit very hard but was amazingly quick for someone that big.

He could have snapped Tyson like a twig.

Cassius, yes. But you should respect his decision to be called whatever he wants (though if he didn't have his name legally changed, then that's his own problem).

"It's just a job.Grass grows, birds fly and waves pound the sand. I beat people up."

One of his underappreciated quotes.
