Never before in human history have the impressions and visual evidence been recorded to such extent, then compiled to exhibit in book form the evolution of an authentic icon.

As the pages turn in the book it is immediately revealed that the artisan's pride and skill worked with full force in shaping the life of Muhammad Ali. It would be at home in the museum of art.

GOAT will prove that a book can be truly immortal.

"(Coffee Table books) are of tasteful extravagance with a tendency towards monumentalism, the most monolithic of them - TASCHEN's GOAT (a 75-pound tribute to the Greatest Of All Time, heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali)."
Vanity Fair, New York
United States
"Er geht vor nichts und niemanden auf die Knie. Muhammad Ali ist Kämpfer, Champion, überlebensgroß. Der TASCHEN-Verlag feiert den unbequemen Helden so, wie es sich gehört: extragroß und sperrig - mit dem gigantischsten Bildband GOAT ... Die Kämpfe und Szenen seines Lebens hat der TASCHEN-Verlag in einem Buch gebündelt, das so außergewöhnlich ist wie Ali selbst: GOAT (Greatest of All Times) ist eine Hommage mächtigen Ausmaßes. Das papierne Denkmal wurde von der Buchbinderei des Vatikans in pinkfarbenem Leder gebunden."

"What if you happened into the TASCHEN store and found yourself drawn to the mega-gorgeous Muhammad Ali book "GOAT"? What if you were unable to resist drawing out your credit card? You'd leave with a beautiful book -- and a $4,500 dent in your account."

"If anyone's legacy is more or less guaranteed to endure over time, thus making this terribly worth it - it's Ali's. That, and this is "the biggest, heaviest, most radiant thing ever printed in the history of civilization," as Der Spiegel put it...Come on, you know you want one."

“Todo un homenaje a Ali. Todo lo que desees saber sobre la leyenda del deporte.”

"Il y a longtemps que je n’avais pas été réveillé en sursaut par un livre. Réveillé vraiment. A en avoir la suée au front et le cœur qui s’emballe. (…) Un livre énorme. Hors catégorie. Carré comme un ring de boxe. Epais mais affûté. Juste à son poids de forme. 35kg! Sur la couverture, un titre mystérieux parade comme un nom de guerre brodé sur un peignoir de champion. GOAT! (…) Les pages défilent, s’enroulent, claquent comme des enchaînements de coups sur un sparing partner. Dans GOAT, il y a tout ce que j’attends, mais en plus grand. En énorme. Soudain, ma mémoire est surdimensionnée. Hyperréaliste. Je deviens grand. Le plus grand. Le plus grand de tous les temps. Greatest of All Time: GOAT! C’est donc ça, le sens du titre. Une évidence travestie de mystère. Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali est the GOAT. Et les images? Quelles images? Vous ne voudriez tout de même pas que je vous raconte, vous décrive, vous remémore? Que je vous plie la rencontre en quelques vilains caractères comme un match truqué? Pas question. Face au rêve, c’est à chacun de mettre son réveil à sonner."
Le Figaro (Beaux livres), Paris
France
“When it comes to luxe editions, TASCHEN occupies the top end of the weight class and price range. Their book GOAT – a 2003 tribute to Muhammad Ali – clocks in at 75 pounds. It comes with two inflatable artworks and a stool designed by Jeff Koons.”

"GOAT- Greatest of All Time ist das ultimative Buch über die Boxlegende Muhammad Ali."
Gala, Hamburg
Germany
The ultimate tribute to the Greatest of All Time. The book is amazing. Having had the good fortune to meet Ali at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons late one night many years ago, I can honestly say that there are no words to express how great and wonderful the man is, and forever will be.
