"El artefacto más desmesurado jamás impreso: 800 páginas de fotografías y textos dedicados al ex campeón mundial de boxeo Muhammed Alí. 50x50 cm de una obra que en su Champ`s Edition cuesta 10.000€, escultura de Jeff Koons incluida. En inglés (aunque mandan la traducción)." GQ, Madrid Spain

"OH-MY-GOD! I knew it'd be good but not this good!! It simply is the most amazing thing I own. I just don't know whether to put it in a safe or on display. Amazing!" M.B. United Kingdom

"A legend is honored in a tribute as illustrious as his personality and accomplishments. GOAT: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali weights 75 pounds, measures 20" x 20", and is packed with contributions from hundreds of writers and photographers. Intimate stories and more than 3,000 photos in 792 pages cover six decades of Ali's life and career." Black Enterprise, New York United States

"Weighing in at 75 pounds and costing a cool $10,000, this autographed, silk-bound special edition could stop a bullet. Unfortunately, you go to war with the coffee-table book you have, not the one you want." The Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles United States

I have yet to physically see the book, however, like everything Muhammad Ali, does, whom I have had the pleasure to meet personally and share time with, I am sure it too is Great. Mr. Ali, is a wonderful human being and his accomplishments and humanity in every sense of the word assure me that there is only "one" man on this earth with whom I share a "rib". Khadijah Abdullah United States

"GOAT follows SUMO in spirit, but is more historically and culturally ambitious. The pleasure, and the work, is in committing to a book of such proportions. The reading experience feels more cinematic than literary. Images cut a clean, symmetrical path through the white pages of four-column text, and when the narrative arrives at fight night, the pages fade to black, the text subsides, the theater lights dim. The fight pictures are like car crashes in slow motion--violent, vivid. You can count the beads of sweat flying off Ken Norton's head, measure closely how contorted a face gets when a fist's in it, see just how garish the cut above Henry Cooper's eye really was." The Oxford American, Conway United States

GOAT is beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside - just like Muhammad Ali Robbie Anderson United Kingdom

"GOAT stands for "Greatest of All Time," a claim only Muhammad Ali could make without drawing snickers. This 800-page tribute weighs in at 75 pounds and (at 20 x 20 inches) occupies roughly the same volume as the champion's chest. GOAT is one of the grandest books of all time. It's the result of massive effort on the part of Benedikt Taschen, the German publisher known for his inventive approach to book design, and more than a dozen editors. GOAT becomes another piece of the Ali legend as it captures a sweetness of spirit Ali transfers to the throngs that crowd around him still." Camera Arts, Santa Fe United States

"Thrilling extravagant! Everyone who sees it, approaches it and enters it is absolutely awed - blown away in the vernacular." P.S. United States

"...a titanic tribute to a living legend: the greatest of all time." Penthouse, Sydney Australia
