15句來自The Greatest﹕Muhammad Ali (穆罕默德‧阿里) 的經典名句

以拳擊征服世界的美國拳王,穆罕默德·阿里(Muhammad Ali)早前因呼吸道疾病過世,享年74歲(1942-2016)。阿里被公認為是這個世界上最偉大的拳手,也是世上最有名的人之一。他被視為是重量級拳擊選手當中的異類,也是因為他獨特的打法,總是把雙手垂在身體的兩側,而不是像其他拳手那樣把雙手舉起來保護臉部。取而代之的,他利用自己驚人的反應速度和臂展來使自己遠離對手的攻擊。

打拳的人好多,但為甚麼他能夠成為一代拳王,或者可以從他過往的拳擊職業生涯中看到,在一共61場的比賽中,阿里共勝出56場,其中擊倒對手而勝出(Knock-out)的就有37場。這位一代世界名人,有「名人英雄」之稱的拳王阿里,曾經說過的至理名言又有哪些?以下的15句,無論有無看過、是否似曾相識也好,也絕對值得一看再看,然後好好思考這位一代拳王的座右銘當中的含義。
