Muhammad Ali (January, 1942 - June, 2016)

"I've done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick." (Muhammad Ali, Rumble in the Jungle).
