Ali is cool to learn about in this context, but whatever happened to that proposed film about Sonny Liston with Vhing Rhames in the title role? That sounds interesting.

I thought the subject was overdone, but McCormack came up with a compelling angle in this film.

Ali has been profiled from so many different angles,this is a good way to go- select from only those who fought him.

Woudl’ve been interesting to hear any soundbites from Liston and others who’ve since passed on like Quarry. But overall I thought the different boxers were informative.

saw this film, well done especially with no filters thru narrators or voice overs, just the words from those that face Ali themselves.

I agree with the director that Ali certainly transcended sports.

Yeah people forget Ali was one of the original trash talkers and got into opponents’ heads.

Film provides a good perspective not only of the fight game, but captures the times as well.
