A fighter like you comes along once in a lifetime.

A fighter like you comes along once in a lifetime. Maybe once in history. It's your time. Go be the greatest. Cassius. You decided if you're going pro? It's a family decision, and we're still thinking it over. I know when I start making that money, I can change your whole life. You're still a boy, G. Don't skip the fun part. This kid does things I've never seen before. This ain't just about your future, it's about ours. You might've won them Olympics, but I'm still the champ of my house. Yeah, I can leave. And when you do, you're gonna still have my name. Cassius Marcellus Clay. Cassius, the things you do in the ring... It's magic. You're an artist. And you don't teach Michelangelo how to paint. You give him a paint brush and you get out of the way. I'm young, I'm pretty, I'm fast, and I can't be beat. Here he is, the champion of the world, Sonny Liston. The one-time convict, named the most frightening man in the world. You big ugly bear! Liston's favored 7 to 1. You're the biggest underdog in the title fights. America has ideas about what their champ should be. Nobody gonna tell me what to say and not say. I want to help my community. And the things you say... You don't know what a revolution is. I've been waiting to hear something like that my whole life. I'm tired of being quiet when I know something's wrong. When I enter the ring, the heavens sing. The angels know I put on a show. We got exactly what we'd hope for. A fighter with a conscience. I shook up the world! You stood your ground, and they just blinked. You know who you are, don't you? Who are you? I'm the greatest. Now make it true. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
