    lol that was hilarious!

    amazing


    I wonder if that second part when everybody stands up at the same time was staged. Or was the moment just really cool.

    ANd did anyone else notice how scared Ali looked when he walk talking trash to Sonny? I never seen him look like that talking trash. Not only that clip, but the other clips too

    At the weigh in Ali heart was bumping 220 per minute. He was in a frenzy. He was a psycho or scared to death.

    Of course it was staged, that's a clip from Ali's autobiographical movie of the seventies. You didn't notice that that was an actor and not Liston?

    A little bit but I really think they should have got Richard Pryor to do it.

    He was a bit,was n't he ? He was aged 34,coming on 35,at the time. Played himself between the ages of 22 - 32. The latter years were fine,as he'd almost caught himself up. The actor,Phil McAllister,who played the 18 year old Cassius was very good,and should have been in the film for longer,taking in Ali's scenes with Mosely's Liston. Muhammad himself taking over the role from about 1970 onwards. i enjoyed the film though.
