I would like to be remembered as a man who
won the heavyweight title three times.
Who was humorous and who treated everyone right.
As a man who never looked down
on those who looked up to him,
and who helped as many people as he could.
As a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what.
As a man who tried to unite all humankind
through faith and love.
And if all that's too much,
then I guess I’d settle for being remembered only as
a great boxer who became a leader
and a champion of his people.
And I wouldn’t even mind if
folks forgot how pretty I was.
Muhammad Ali
