Muhammad Ali is a true hero, and the fact there's something wrong with him is his badge of valour. He's a great man.

Muhammad Ali is a legend, a hero of mine.

In boxing, I had a lot of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I thought, 'This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for'. No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.

Muhammad Ali turns 70, I turn 50. Damn...when he was knocking people's socks off, I was learning to wear them...

I want to be like a Muhammad Ali, like a Julio Cesar Chavez. So when people talk about boxing, they have to remember Canelo.

I'm on the record for five losses or something like that, but the one guy who really whipped me was Muhammad Ali. And it taught me one big lesson. That no matter how big and strong you are, you're going to have to use your mind. You must think things out.
