      kevin w Fans (and history buffs) will enjoy this look at the life and times of "The Greatest" from the POV of his opponents, who eloquently, humbly, speak of their simple lives before and after being thrust into the presence of the guy who spit in the eye of Almighty U.S. government. A must see for American history buffs, not to mention boxing fans. A beautiful work. Superlative. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised to find that this movie is more about the fighters interviewed than Ali himself. Some great anecdotes and insights. George Foreman in particular tells about a locker room conversion experience he had which was fascinating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Good to see Ali's legacy from the ones that faced him in the ring. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely superb. Anyone with an interest in the glory days of boxing should watch this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love sports documentaries, especially boxing docs, and this is an excellent one. Great interviews with Joe Frazier, George Forman, Ken Norman, Leon Spinks, Earnie Shavers, Larry Holmes and others. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Not just a review of some of his greatest fights, but what life was like for the opponents after they fought Ali. A good, informative documentary. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
