Quote context

[...]

- Liston is puffing around the eye. Over in Liston's corner, he's badly beaten up. They're applying ointment to the eye. That right eye is very well swollen.

- I doubt if Liston can continue. And if he cannot, there will be a new champion. No, Sonny Liston cannot continue. And Cassius Clay is the champion by a knockout, as Liston cannot come out for the seventh round.

- Clay does a victory dance. His handlers are jubilant. They're picking him up. The crowd is going wild.

- Cassius Clay, the heavyweight champion of the world and a beaten-up Sonny Liston.

- I am the greatest!

- When did you know he wasn't coming back, Champ?

- Hold it, hold it. First things first. Now, listen, let's get it straight. Just don't forget it now. Sonny Liston was supposed to destroy me.

- How wrong all of you were. And you got to admit it. You got to all bow and tell me that I'm the greatest.

- That's right, champ. That's right.

- I have another announcement I have to make.

- The name Clay, Cassius Clay, my name is no longer Cassius Clay.

- That's right. You heard the rumors. I am a Muslim. That's my religion now. My religion is Islam.

You've made it to the top of the mountain, champ, but it's just as steep going down as it was coming up. And a hell of a lot faster. You've got to get used to another kind of life.

I told you all I was the greatest. Never told you I was the smartest.

How would you feel about that, Muhammad, being sent to Vietnam? -Don't feel nothing. I'm not excited at all.

Attention, the true heavyweight champion is here!
