    Good doc...been on the net for a while now...

    Idk about Holmes and Frazier tho......One minute Frazier's being nice, the next he's bashing Ali(Thrilla in Manila doc was extreme anti-Ali)...and Holmes says nice things then says Ali was overrated as a fighter elsewhere...

    Ron Lyle seems cool...Norton too...although idk how Norton could know what round he broke Ali's jaw in..lol

    I liked it though...worth the viewing

      yeah almost all the fighters were punch drunk....sad to see, Frazier and Leon Spinks were hard to understand

        Ron Lyle sounds alright as well.

        Chuvalo, Lylo, Holmes, and Cooper sounds good so far.

          Seems like there is no standing and trading shots while tired like back in them days. The new generation guy's aren't as gritty.......................

            this is why none of today,s fighters can be compared to the fighters of the past if you know what i mean... if you thought rocky fought wars in the ring then just look at ali,s record and i mean joe frazier, george foreman, ron lyle, ken norton, and on and on... no way in hell no fighter of today could compete with that type of competition at any weight... what do you guys think???

              there are still guys with that mentality, but money and promoters tend to keep them apart.

                Wow, just finished watching it. The ending was so emotional and I can't believe Frazier cried at the end. Ali was really something special.
