Just watch it, it's boxing history. Back in the day when being champion of the world meant something. Fighting for a championship I'm guessing would be the greatest challenge for any challenger.

Ahhhh it all makes sense now, because I had it the other way round which didn't make sense.
As obviously Jean Pierre Coopman was Ali's greatest challenge.
