But I really liked Ali a lot better. Because Will Smith impressed me with his portrayal of Ali. Cinderella man I think was alright, but it didn't do it for me like I thought it should. And they didn't end it in the Thrilla in Manilla because the Foreman fight was Ali's greatest accomplishment inside the ring because people gave him no chance.

Why didn't they end the Braddock movie with him dooming Joe Louis to his future as a casino greeter?
How did Braddock doom Louis to a greeter at Caesars, when Louis made 25 title defenses. but both movies were bad IMO, first of all Will Smith did a horrible impression of ALI, he sounded nothing like him at all, to me it was a joke. And Cinderella Man was okay until they showed the Baer-Braddock fight as a war, Baer clowned the entire fight, basically giving the fight away. By all acounts that I have read over the yrs Baer was never big on training in the first place, but after the death of Frankie Campbell he never fought with the same feirceness again. I seen the fight on classic espn a few times and Baer was acting like a clown.
