"Bruce Lee: Now I admire Cassius Clay, I do. What I admire is, in his sport there is an element of true combat. When Cassius Clay meets Sonny Liston in the ring, that's not two athletes posturing; that's combat. Two men, trying to kill each other right now. If you don't beat him…he kills you. That's beyond athletics. That's beyond Wide World of Sports, you know? That's two warriors engaged in combat; that's what I admire."
