I do believe that Ali is the greatest of all time but you have to give credit to Manny Pacquiao who has kicked butt in so many different weight classes.
It's a look at the fight through the eyes of Joe Frazier. I felt it tarnished the image of Ali somewhat. I didn't realize the hate between them ran so deeply.
I've watched it a couple of times and didn't really feel like it was so one sided. Hate will eat a person alive inside and Joe just needs to let it go. It probably wasn't possible to interview Ali anyway due to his advanced "state." My folks went to the Kentucky Derby back in the 80's and sat right behind Ali. I vividly remember Mom telling me, "That is one handsome black man!"
I saw it as well and it was simply outstandirang. The animosity was clear with Joe...It was sad to see that Joe doesn't have a lot of money left over from his boxing days. It's a shame that the greats usually end up like that.
I long for the golden age of boxing...Ali, Foreman, Frazier. None of the chumps today can hold these great's jock straps.

is actually well deserved, as Ali was a complete asshole at the time. Ali was a truly great fighter who took pride in humiliating his opponents, and I've always thought he was a complete loser as a person. Initially, his barbs were mild and funny, but they quickly developed a meaness that got worse and worse as time went on. I was happy when Frazier beat him, and was thrilled when Norton broke his jaw. I've never understood why he's idolized so much around the world, because to me he personifies much of what is wrong about sports. In a sense, his current condition is his punishment for his past behavior.
I agree with you that Joe has every reason to be pissed at Ali. But the reason why Ali is so idolized today is what he gave up. Today's athlete would not have given up what he did. They are all about the money? I respect Ali for his stance and wished more people had the stones he has. Now I was and still a Joe Frazier fan being from Philly but I have the most repect for Ali for his views and his talent. I wished that his voice was not silent because he is a very smart man
