Muhammad Ali was an American professional boxer and activist. Nicknamed "The Greatest", he is regarded as one of the most significant sports figures of the 20th century, and is frequently ranked as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. 

He first said "I am the greatest" when reciting a poem that you can read below, this was during a TV show prior to changing his name to Mohammed Ali.

By Cassius Clay. 

This is the legend of Cassius Clay, the most beautiful fighter in the world today. 

He talks a great deal and brags indeed-y of a muscular punch that's incredibly speedy. 

The fistic world was dull and weary. With a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary.

Then someone with color - someone with dash - brought fight fans running with cash.

This brash, young boxer is something to see. And the heavyweight championship is his destiny. 

This kid fights great. He's got speed and endurance. But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.

This kid's got a left. This kid's got a right. If he hits you once, you're asleep for the night.

And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts 10, you pray that you won't have to fight me again. 

 For I am the man this poem is about, the next champ of the world, there isn't a doubt. 

If Cassius says a cow can lay an egg, don't ask how. Grease that skillet.

He is the greatest. When I say two, there's never a third. Betting against me is completely absurd. 

When Cassius says a mouse can outrun a horse, don't ask how. Put your money where your mouse is.

I am the greatest.

Muhammad Ali's poem, "I Am The Greatest," recorded in 1963.
