"An unparalleled exercise in publishing extravagance, GOAT comprises more than 3,000 archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, essays, and articles detailing the unique spectacle of Ali`s life." Black Book, New York United States

"TASCHEN has chosen to honor one of sport`s most nimble and eloquent athletes with a 75-pound, skull-crushing tome that catalogs Muhammad Ali`s tremendous influence on modern culture, and it`s wrapped in a silk-covered box, of course. With contributions from 100-plus writers and packed with more than 3,000 images depicting Ali`s life, it is one of the most comprehensive tributes in history, further solidifying Ali`s legacy as the greatest sports legend of all time." Gotham, New York United States

"Heavy going, but it's the greatest read." Birmingham Evening Mail, Birmingham United Kingdom

"There are many candidates who can replace the president of the United States, but not many who can replace Muhammad Ali. GOAT is a book which has no substitution. This book must be published to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Ali's championship match vs. Liston, and 30th anniversary of his match vs. Foreman." World Boxing, Tokyo Japan

"Taille : 50 x 50 cm. Poids : 34 kilos. Caractéristiques techniques : 800 pages, 3 000 photos et illustrations. Bourse : 7 500 €. Particularité : unique au monde. Catégorie : hors normes. Nom : G.O.A.T., Greatest Of All Time, pour le plus grand champion de tous les temps, Muhammad Ali. Quel autre monument du sport aurait pu inspirer une telle oeuvre, digne de son génie, de sa légende, de sa démesure ! Les éditions TASCHEN ont tenu un pari fou en publiant cet ouvrage inclassable qui a mobilisé une centaine d'écrivains et de photographes pendant trois ans. Plus qu'une biographie, il s'agit d'un bijou de collection. (...) Certes, ce poids lourd de la littérature n'est pas pratique à consulter, mais choisit-on une Ferrari pour son confort ?" La Provence, Paris France

"34 kilos de bonheur. (...) Les amateurs du noble art en général, et les fans de Muhammad Ali (ex-Cassius Clay), rêveront sans doute de posséder un jour cet ouvrage incroyable ! Pensez donc : l'objet, intitulé "GOAT" et dédicacé par son sujet, a un format carré de 50 cm de côté, comporte 800 pages, pèse 34 kilos et contient des milliers d'images inédites - retraçant la carrière d'un des plus fabuleux boxeurs de tous les temps. Le tout est d'une qualité à proprement parler stupéfiante, au vu de ses dimensions. Ali, qui a toujours estimé être "le plus grand", doit donc se réjouir de la publication, à la fin de ce mois, de ce livre à son image concocté par les éditions TASCHEN." Le Matin, Genève Switzerland

"And last but not least, the booth of TASCHEN, the celebrated art-book publisher, featured a copy of the deluxe edition of its Muhammad Ali tribute, Greatest of All Time (GOAT), with the Jeff Koons multiple assembled-a Rauschenbergian inflated tire positioned around a white wooden stool, which is surmounted first by the book itself and then by an inflated vinyl dolphin, Koons` mother figure." Artnet.com, New York United States

"...with 800 pages and new material including artworks by Jeff Koons its hard to imagine a more exhaustive exploration of the Ali myth...GOAT, as they're calling it, enables you to recreate the sensation of being knocked cold by Ali yourself either by dropping it on your head (it weighs 29 kg and measures 50cm square), or by looking at the price (it costs a very reasonable £2,000)." Word, London United Kingdom

"This is a Champion`s Belt given to one of the greatest athletes on the earth, Muhammad Ali from TASCHEN." INVITATION, Tokyo Japan

"Everything about this monument to the 20th century's greatest athlete is deliberately enormous, to reflect the scale of its subject's achievement.( )...the buyer gets not so much a book as a work of art that is bound to become a collector's item." Daily Express, London United Kingdom
