  • Facing Ali

    Has anyone seen this documentary yet?



    Is it any good? I bought it on DVD yesterday, gonna watch it tonight. Looks really cool. I guess it's like the title implies, about what it's like to fight Muhammad Ali from the point of view of some of his opponents.

    Geez, I wonder if Joe Frazier still wants to kick Ali into the Olympic fire?

    I thought it was excellent. Definitely worth buying and watching. Includes interesting comments from the late Henry Cooper. Frazier's heart seems to have softened considerably towards Ali but I'll let you judge for yourself lol.

          I have it. It's certainly worth watching, but I remember thinking that it could have been better. It seemed a little disjointed to me.

            Sonny didn't offer too many opinions when he was alive. And many of the ones he did were unprintable. Liston was always uncomfortable in those type of settings.

              My favorite Ali moment was when television star Bert Newton called Ali "Boy", and poor Bert had no idea that the remark was offensive, but it was in Australia a long time ago. Ali handled the situation well, he just explained to Bert what Boy meant to his people. Man it made for great television.

                  I've seen that documentary. It's definitely worth watching I think.

                  He'd probably just blankly stare at the camera crew until they felt uncomfortable and left him alone.

                    I haven't seen the documentary, but I've read a book with the same title. The book is great. I'll have to check out the documentary later.
