I enjoyed it too.
I liked the interviews with the people that knew Ali. Larry Holmes was funny.

It was good, as mentioned there wasn't anything new learned if you've read a lot on Ali but it was still a good watch

I'm not sure there is anything new that could be learned about Ali.

He must be the most documented sportsman ever.

Yeah I'm sure your right mate, I must have about 20 of his books and about the same number of DVDs

Watched it yesterday. Was pretty average imo. He flew all that way to interview Holmes only to show a tiny snippet of the interview?

Seeing the old deer lake training camp was quite eerie. I wonder who owns it now.

Does Ali's brother have parkinsons? I read Ali's latest autobiography (the one co-wrote with his daughter). He's adamant boxing wasn't the cause of Parkinsons and he would've got it anyway if he wasn't a boxer. Maybe there's a genetic aspect.
