The life and career of Muhammad Ali (1942- ) as seen chronologically in archival footage: Ali as a fighter, a personality, a political lightening rod, and a man. Boxers who fought him describe what led up to major fights and the matches themselves; they also offer personal revelations about their own lives: George Chuvalo's family losses, George Foreman's conversion, Ken Norton's gratitude, Ron Lyle's teaching, Earnie Shaver's encounter with the Klan, and Joe Frazier's good humor pack their own punch. The fighters talk about Ali's quickness, cunning, and recuperative powers - and how fighting him changed their lives.

| User ReviewKnightFall HWOW! Just a great movie, so well made from top to bottom. This movie is an in depth look at some of the many men Ali fought in his long carrer and how it changed his life as well as theres. Absolutly "The Greatest" documentary I'v ever seen. |
| User ReviewJames BA great inside look on what it was like to face the greatest from the view of other great fighters and there battle with him. |
| User ReviewSean RThe idea of this film was well-conceived. It let's the fighters who fought against Muhammad Ali tell his story of why he is the greatest of all time. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and, most importantly, it made me think. A wonderful documentary! |
| User ReviewParker Sfantastic!!! ad good ad it gets. a nice tribute for the greatest of all time! |
| User ReviewCornell WAbsolutely superb. Anyone with an interest in the glory days of boxing should watch this. |
| User ReviewJoe Ei really liked this it gives an interesting portrait of ali whilst looking at those who also faced him and were around him, which can be just as interesting. some are amoung the greatest but were overshadowed by 'the greatest'!!! really interesting. |
| User ReviewFatma BFatma Bassiouni never understood the appeal of boxing, she's always felt sorry for the bloke who gets knocked down. She has admittedly, like others before her, including those who aren't enamoured of boxing, made an exception for the man who so deservedly earned that title 'the greatest of all'. She just watched "Facing Ali" (on mbc 2) and was moved to tears by this touching, riveting and the words simply fail her on this film. This IS the BEST documentary she's seen on Mohamed Ali (even > Spike Lee's When we were Kings). She's still moved ... |
| User ReviewGabriele MSplendido documentario che raccoglie interviste, curiosità e aneddoti raccontati da chi sul ring contro Mohammad Ali c'è salito. |
| User ReviewJP CThis is brilliant. The stories of his opponents are, in lots of ways, just as interesting as Ali's. Frazier, Spinks and Foreman are a,, sweet old men for the ferocious fighters that they once were. |
| User ReviewR Danielle BThis was an amazing film. The highs and lows of these fighters who faced Ali combine for a moving, thoughtful viewing experience. |
