Muhammad Ali has said using his own words, how he wanted to be remembered:

"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...who stood up for his beliefs...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."
