    And yet after doing all this crap Ali makes the money, Ali is the icon, Ali is "The Greatest of All-Time"....and all Joe has is his gym and his comparative good health.

    Also guys like Gumbel and Jackson are still around spouting their views on race....you already gave us your views and they were fucking wrong 30 years ago and they are wrong right now!

    This documentary described in detail why I have a hard time respecting Muhammed Ali as a person.
    "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong...They never called me n!gger."--Muhammad Ali

    If you're smart enough to understand this quote, you should be smart enough to realize why Ali (as well as millions of Black people) were pissed off and why this thread is so asinine.

    Yea, a thread about a boxing documentary, on a boxing forum, where people have different opinions. That is "so asinine."

    His opinion on Ali isn't asinine, the fact that he can't see why Muhammad Ali was so bitter is.

    I love it when they booed Ali during introduction. The majority of the crowd was pro Frazier.
