Don't want to sound critical - but if I'd directed this I'd have put the slo-mo earlier. The crucial thing about the final 5-punch combination is that the 4th and 5th punches came real close together. The 4th (uppercut) flicks Foreman's head into position, then BANG with the right. The slo-mo loses this.
.
I'd have had the slo-mo after the 3rd punch - like when Ali KNOWS - then back to full speed for the 4th and 5th.
@roquefort88888 i'd have put the slo-mo at first but after i'd have showed the same combination at normal speed , maybe that's would have been the best
There are no enemies in boxing just as there are no prisoners of war. Call it violence and chaos but even God kills indiscriminately. Call it what you will, but surely there are only those who get to write the history books centuries after they have vanished into the inert, thin air.
Goosebumps every time i see this. i have this song on my workout playlist. its that moving and powerful to me. i had tears in my eyes when i saw this for the first time. unbelievable the heart of this man. muhammad ali is still an inspiration.
he does look like forman but he's bigger than forman was. dont know about if he's taller but he's definatly thicker than forman was. forman i think was 220 for his fight againsed ali and this guy if he's the same height as forman probably weighs in the 240s
yeah but in the movie they didnt want the viewers to see ali just knocking him out without a sweat it needs to be interesting and thats the best thing there is

This film was boring to me, because i am an Ali fan and i already know everything about, so it was like i've already watched the movie before i pressed play :]
Actually, if you look at the first round, Ali kept hitting him with right leads and dancing; he didn't start leaning against the ropes till the later rounds.
douglas-tyson was a huge upset but ali-foreman too me was bigger because foreman was what tyson was. Foreman destroyed frazier who beat ali convincingly. Foreman's ko record was like 95% he had serious power more power than tyson or anyone else. Ali will always be the greatest along with louis and robinson
May not be as touching to thoughs who have not seen the movie or know the life story of ali. But in the movie when this part finaly happens it brings a tear to my eye every time
The Biggest upset in boxing history ! down goes foreman ,down goes foreman. what a movie i wish Ali was still boxing till this day people all over the world are talking about a black man who converted into islam and who was the best boxer ever! it doesnt matter about religon if he's black brown or white he is a boxer not just any boxer the best boxer of all time it's sad when i watch this i get emotoinal go ALI ALI and what a song man that was perfect. peace be upon you my brother's
He didn't have a black eye in real life.

foreman didn't nearly have the speed, technique, or even conditioning that tyson did though.
I seriously doubt ali would have been able to stand tyson hitting him on the ropes for all those rounds.

ofcourse Ali and Froeman was bigger fight because they were both KINGS. but Ali was getting older, still his name was just as big as ANYTHING.
if he were in todays times. PPV chart would go sky high and single handedly destroy all of UFC.
