Ali appeared as the young fighter in Requiem for a Heavyweight. Anthony Quinn played a heavyweight that was washed up trying to get back in the title picture. I don't remember the character's name but I'll take a shot, Mountain Montana or Rivera. It was directed by Rod Sterling of Twilight Zone fame. The old fighter was overwhelmed

Ernie Terrell was affectionately known as the Octopus and Sonny Liston Made a crack about him hugging him more than his wife did. I think John Ruiz studied some of Terrell's old fights. Don't get me wrong because Ernie was a champ at the same time Ali was and he fought name opponents.
