Frases de Muhammad Ali
página 2

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.

Muhammad Ali: Frases en inglés

“Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.”

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.

“I’ve wrestled with alligators,
I’ve tussled with a whale.
I done handcuffed lightning
And throw thunder in jail.
You know I’m bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock,
Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.
I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.”

A poem about his match with George Foreman, known as the Rumble in the Jungle (1974)
Contexto: Last night I had a dream, When I got to Africa,
I had one hell of a rumble.
I had to beat Tarzan’s behind first,
For claiming to be King of the Jungle.
For this fight, I’ve wrestled with alligators,
I’ve tussled with a whale.
I done handcuffed lightning
And throw thunder in jail.
You know I’m bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock,
Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.
I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.
I’m so fast, man,
I can run through a hurricane and don't get wet.
When George Foreman meets me,
He’ll pay his debt.
I can drown the drink of water, and kill a dead tree.
Wait till you see Muhammad Ali.

Contexto: My soul has grown over the years, and some of my views have changed. As long as I am alive, I will continue to try to understand more because the work of the heart is never done. All through my life I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested.

“We all have the same God, we just serve him differently.”

Muhammad Ali libro The Soul of a Butterfly

Fuente: The Soul of a Butterfly (2004), p. xvii
Contexto: We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children.

“I set out on a journey of love, seeking truth, peace and understanding. l am still learning.”
