Frases de Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali o Mohamed Ali, nacido Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. fue un boxeador estadounidense, considerado el mejor de todos los tiempos, o uno de los más destacados. Fue una figura social de enorme influencia en su generación, en la política y en las luchas sociales o humanitarias a favor de los afroamericanos y del islam.

En su etapa amateur, logró la medalla de oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de Roma 1960 y, como profesional, ganó el título de campeón indiscutido de la categoría de los pesos pesados en 1964 a la edad de veintidós años, el cual recobraría diez años después. En 1978, consiguió otro cetro de campeón, lo que le convirtió en el primer boxeador en ostentar en tres ocasiones un título mundial en dicha categoría.

Se caracterizó por su estilo de boxeo alejado de la técnica tradicional, aunque era un conocedor del deporte y de sus contrincantes. Fue dirigido la mayor parte de su carrera por el entrenador Angelo Dundee, y sostuvo memorables combates contra los más renombrados pugilistas de su tiempo, como Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier, George Foreman y Ken Norton. Seis de sus peleas han sido consideradas como las mejores del año por la revista The Ring. Vertía tanto opiniones claramente irreverentes sobre sus oponentes, como acertados pronósticos de sus contiendas.

Fuera del cuadrilátero, Muhammad Ali se erigió como una figura con influencia social desde los años 1960 cuando se opuso a su reclutamiento por parte de las fuerzas armadas de su país durante la Guerra de Vietnam. Se declaró objetor de conciencia, pese al rechazo de los defensores del nacionalismo estadounidense. Formó parte de la organización religiosa de la Nación del Islam y, aunque se ganó detractores por su conducta independiente de los estereotipos sobre los afroamericanos, a partir de los años 1970 consiguió el respeto como figura deportiva de renombre mundial, en especial tras su pelea contra George Foreman. En el ocaso de su carrera, empezó a dar muestras de desgaste físico; después de su retiro padeció la enfermedad de Parkinson.

Entre numerosos reconocimientos recibió la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad; el ingreso al Salón Internacional de la Fama del Boxeo; el título de «Rey del Boxeo» por parte del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo; y «Deportista del Siglo XX» por Sports Illustrated y la BBC, entre otros.

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

“This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
The most beautiful fighter in the world today.”

"I am the Greatest" (1964) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZU_AvPPIQY
Contexto: 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 a-runnin' with cash.
This brash young boxer is something to see
And the heavyweight championship is his destiny.

“In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first.”

Muhammad Ali libro The Soul of a Butterfly

Fuente: The Soul of a Butterfly (2004), p. xxiv
Contexto: Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.
In a competition of love we would not be running against one another, but with one another. We would be trying to gain victory for all humanity. If I am a faster runner than you, you may feel bad seeing me pass you in the race, but if you know that we are both racing to make our world better, you will feel good knowing that we are racing toward a common goal, a mutual reward.
In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first.

Some things cannot be taught, but they can be awakened in the heart. Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all. It doesn't belong to any particular religion; it belongs to everyone.

“I think Terrell will catch hell at the sound of the bell.
He's going around saying that he's a championship-fighter,
but when he meets me he fall 20 pound lighter.
He thinks that he's the real heavy weight champ
but when he meets me, he'll just be a tramp
Now I'm not sayin' just to be funny, but I'm fightin' Ernie because he needs the money.”
