    yeah, toney played frazier quiet well in that joke of a film, jamie fox is the only one to come out with any credit for his portrail of bundini brown. why do a film when Ali is still alive? and how the **** do they manage to make one of the most interesting and exciting sporting lives of that century so boring, for me it was just a pathetic attempt to try and get will smith an oscar which is evident in the movies he's done since then.
