Has anyone screened this yet? I watched it last week and was very impressed with it on many levels. This did a great job of retelling the Ali - Frazier saga from before their first match until the very end of the third and final bout between the two champions. Frazier himself appears throughout and actually watches the footage of the fight in Manila for the first time ever while HBO films his reactions. Ali does not appear and apparently declined to be interviewed for the documentary. I HIGHLY recommend this to any sports fan. I had no idea that Ali and Frazier were once friends before Ali turned and started publicly humiliating the man who had helped him so much in years past.
Great documentary. Thumbs up!
