When I was watching this last night on BET I missed the first half hour or so. I hadn't even realized Jon Voight was Cosell. What a performance. Cosell and Ali had such a tremendous friendship back then.
Ali was not only a great boxer, but a great showman and highly intelligent. You just don't see athletes think on their toes and come up with the stuff Ali used to anymore.
I love Malcolm X. He was real. Like, he doesn't tell you if someone hits you not to hit them back. I personally don't believe in non vioence. Don't get me wrong, I like MLK, but Malcolm was better to me.
people forget about joe frazier? ... thrilla in manila?? muhammad ali, yes, the greatest and best personality boxing has ever seen. But joe frazier, the hardest and had the biggest heart boxing has ever seen. ali had to scrape himself off the canvas after manila, frazier wanted another round. ali is a multi millionaire joe frazier lives in a dingy flat above his gym. shows what america thinks of there heroes.
Will Smith is a great actor, wonderful human-being,too. I think he is/was, the closest you can find to ALI in an actor, or otherwise. Having said this, Ali can never be duplicated, replicated, simulated, by anyone; other than Ali himself. His soul is where Ali is difficult to exemplify. That with poise, brilliance of mind and body and a face so handsome makes him 1 of the most unique human beings to have graced the planet; by the will of the creator.
@translationwiz Yes. Such a great role model, so clean living. Only divorced twice, both times leaving children in broken homes. Not at all a two faced hypocrite. Alos, he doesn't swear in his records. Does it all the time in his films though so that don't make sense. Will Smith is a fraud.

This was the best opening to a movie that I had seen in sometime.
I remember hearing the audience applaud in a movie theater and thinking it sounded so odd as I hadn't heard it happen in so long.
