Yeah, I caught a late replay of it. Great actors involved too, Christopher Plummer and Fritz Weaver, Danny Glover. I didn't even know Weaver was still alive. I never knew about the young lawyer that got the supreme court justice to change his mind and the legal precedent of a Jehovah's witness. Between that and the Cotto fight, it was a good night of TV viewing.

Yes it was a fine movie and entertaining fight. I hope Cotto and Roach keep on working well Together

Yeah imagine THAT Cotto against Pacquiao. I think he would at least have a shot.

Interesting movie on Ali's legal battle that went all the way to the supreme court. Some great footage of his interviews at the time and highlights of his fights during that period. I enjoyed did anyone else see it?

I did... 'twas great! Emmy nods for Langella, Plummer...
