Post by felbridge11 »

Biopic about Ali including the man himself

Could be anything, with an actor as the young Ali. but it might be worth a look

The Greatest is a decent film. Its a shame Ali's speech was starting to slur when he went into films.

But he is a natural comedian though. The prank call scene was something you would find in a dave chappelle skit. Ali was a funny brother!

used to really like ali but think he is a racist now

boxing ability unquestioned but all that crap about the white man is the devil , the white mans this , the white mans that

what he did to frazier , terrell etc , today he would have been proclaimed a racist , it was because he was a joker that he got away with it.

personally my view is that he was totally brainwashed by his religion

George Benson wrote the fabulous song, "The greatest Love of All," specifically for the film.
Eat your heart out John Williams.

Id agree by todays standards but when you think of the way black people were treated back then, i can empathise.
