    This has been on Youtube for a long time. HBO must have just done a few voice overs on a British product.

    Well, with that logic, there must be a lot of boxers who have crossed the line in your opinion!:lol:

    I think they said Floyd Sr is either 54, 56, or 58. I can't remember. But, one of those for sure. I thought Floyd sr was older than his 50's. You are right, he looks older than Joe Frazier.

    To bad young foreman ****ed up Frazier... he would have destroyed ali in manila. He almost made ali quit, it was joe's trainer who stop the fight. Ali was about to quit.

    This documentary is from a very biased Frazier perspective and it's not the whole story.

    Honestly the documentary should'nt even be called "Thrilla in Manila", it should be called "The Sinful Life of Cassius Clay". Its so clearly biased you'd have to be pretty damn incompetent to belive it.

    It's about time. Most docs are in Ali's taint.

    Although I agree that the documentary is biased, at least we get to see a different side of the story from all the normal Ali nut hugging documentaries.

    It even says in the description that it's told from Joe Frazier's perspective. He's STILL mad at him - even has a bitter message on his cell voice mail, after over 30years. Damn dude, give it up. OF COURSE it's going to make Ali look bad..
