    Why in the movie Ali do they try to make it look like Foreman was winning the fight?

    And in general there seems to be some myth like Ali was losing and scored a dramatic ko out of nowhere..Ali was clearly winning the fight and easily imo why does History like to act like he was losing and came back and won?

                A movie based on a real event being over exaggerated to make for more dramatic viewing?

                This is truly ground breaking, Hollywood movies are usually so historically accurate.

                    Larry it's a movie relax. It's drama, adds to the movie. Why in the movie 300 do they make it seem like the Spartans held their own when history has it that they got their azes handed to them in less than one day? Like I said its drama let it be. Take a chill poll down a 40 of OE and put some hand lotion
