"To call such an extravagant objet d`art a book is like calling the Taj Mahal a shack."
Newsday, New York
United States
"Picture a 75-pound box of candy wrapped in white and pink silk. That`s how the past 60 years of Muhammad Ali`s life have been layered into this book, some kind of a cross between a Valentine and an atlas. That Mr. Ali is worthy seems beyond question nowadays. His Olympic gold, his world-champion titles, his courage of conviction and his unstoppably brash charm all pile up to make him bigger than life. He fought 46 times, including several comebacks, on his way to being one of the most famous people in the world and one of the most photographed ever. Each memento in the heartfelt scrapbook-every fight poster, front-row ticket stub and magazine cover-was originally saved for its outlandish, over-the-top appeal, just like the man himself. Three thousand photographs are gorgeously printed here across 792 gilt-edged pages, the biggest measuring 80 inches by 20 inches. Twin, double-page foldouts will take over any coffee table and most of the sofa, too."

"While the past few years have seen many Ali-retrospective contenders, none has covered the iconic pugilist in such depth-literally."
Playboy, Chicago
United States
"Greatest of All Time heißt das ultimative Werk des Taschen Verlags über das Leben des Champ. Das in fünfjähriger Arbeit entstandene Projekt wird der Bedeutung des wohl größten Sportlers aller Zeiten gerecht"
Schwäbische Zeitung, Leutkirch
Germany
"das Meisterwerk des Taschen-Verlags war nicht nur Star des Taschen-Messestandes, sondern der Buchmesse überhaupt. Das Buch geht an die Grenzen der industriellen Produktion. Taschens 10 Mio-Euro Projekt stellt alles bisher da gewesene im Buchmarkt und auch die zigtausend Neuerscheinungen der Buchmesse selbst in den Schatten."
Print & Prduktion, Heidelberg
Germany
"Una personalidad tan apabullante se merecía un libro similar. GOAT. A tribute to Muhammed Alí intenta en sus 800 páginas y 3.000 imágenes captar la personalidad del campeón. GOAT, siglas de Greatest of all Time (el más grande de todos los tiempos), recoge artículos de 20 escritores y el trabajo de los mejores fotógrafos que siguieron su carrera. ‘No esperan que los boxeadores tengan cerebro`, escribe Alí. ‘Son sólo brutos que sirven para entretener a blancos ricos`. La tirada del libro, editado por TASCHEN, será de sólo 10.000 ejemplares. El proyecto ha costado 10 millones de euros y cada ejemplar saldrá a la venta por 3.000 €, aunque las primeras mil copias, acompañadas de una escultura, tendrán un precio de 7.500€. El homenaje esperado para un peso pesado del siglo XX."
El Mundo, Madrid
Spain
"La editorial TASCHEN, con sede en Alemania se hizo a la tarea de invertir cuatro años y 10 millones de dólares en la investigación que llevó la realización de GOAT (el más grande de todos los tiempos, por su siglas en inglés), una impresionante obra sobre la vida de Muhammed Alí."

"De Cassius Clay à Muhammad Ali, la légende incarnée de la boxe en 800 pages et 3000 photos. Un must, un objet culte en soi, un pavé de 30 kilos vendu au poids du métal précieux. Pour collectionneurs avertis... et nantis"
Le Figaro, Paris
France
"Les éditions TASCHEN consacrent un ouvrage hors norme au champion américain. Ali en 34 kilos, 3000 photos... et 3000 euros. Ce n'est pas un hommage, c'est une panthéonisation éditoriale. Au début de l'année, les éditions TASCHEN, dont le patron Benedikt Taschen s'autoproclame "Le plus grand éditeur de tous les temps", livrera Greatest of All time (Le Plus Grand de tous les temps) à ses souscripteurs."
Libération, Paris
France
"De la culture noire américaine, Cassius Clay, alias Muhammad Ali, fut le héros sportif, mais aussi politique, spirituel, charismatique, érotique. De quoi nourrir un monumental pavé où ce symbole de l'histoire des Etats-Unis, qui a lui-même collaboré à l'ouvrage, est shooté par les plus grands photographes (William Klein, Steve Schapiro, Philippe Halsman, Danny Lyon...) et analysé par des auteurs de renom (David Remnick, rédacteur en chef du magazine The New Yorker, Gregory Allen Howard, scénariste du film Ali de Michael Mann, ou encore Budd Schulberg, auteur de Plus dure sera la chute ou de Sur les quais...) (...) Mais, plus encore que par son contenu, cet événement éditorial vaut par sa forme : 800 pages, un format carré de 50 centimètres sur 50, 34 kilos..."
