“I may have been the best fighter, but I was also the poorest. I had never been able to afford a first-class mouthpiece to protect my teeth. I had to wait until other fighters finished so I could borrow their headgear, or their trunk or bandages.”
— Muhammad Ali
Simplified Meaning:
Even though I was the best at fighting, I was very poor. I couldn't buy good gear to protect myself. I had to wait for other fighters to finish their fights to borrow their equipment.
