Anyway, the story could be that the world champion, and they should model this guy on a prime Ali without the politics or religion - needs to do an exhibition to commemorate an anniversary or soemthing.
So, they pick this guy, and the film is really about him rather than the fact he is a boxer, and he becomes an icon for the 'little guy', the poor people and the huddled masses by actually making a decent fight agaisnt the Champ.
What do you think?
