    This was well done, but the best boxing- and Ali documentary- is easily "When We Were Kings". Although it covers on specific fight and era, it really showcases the charisma, wit, skill, and aura that Ali had.

    (Chuvalo was ok, a little biased, suggesting the ******s "fixed" the Liston fight. Whatever, man.)

    "Ali: Through The Eyes Of The World" is another incredible sleeper documentary, far better than 'Champions Forever', which is more like a glorified Q & A. It covers every era of Ali, up to the Holmes fight.

    Of course, the recent "Muhammad And Larry" again is a nice 'sequel' to 'When We Were Kings', and shows more of the time of Ali's life many of us don't like to think about. But worth watching.

    I even like 'The Greatest', Ali's 1977 film about his own life. I've got about 20 DVDs of Ali, I should really just start a blog...

        its is great viewing and i would recommend it as a must see DVD... some great stories told by the likes of Ernie Terrell, Shavers, Foreman, Leon Spinks,Ron Lyle, Chuvalo, Holmes, Frazier & Henry Cooper...

        Often on this forum we have topics on Joe Frazier and many posters claim he would be beaten by many fighters from the last 20yrs this documentary will change their opinion as Lyle, Ali, Foreman and Chuvalo all tell how great Frazier was and how he was one of the greatest punchers of all times.
        yeah i loved watching it....one of the best documentaries ive seen in a while
