    Great documentary, just watched it. It definatley revealed alot to me that I didn't know.

    It's a shame we'll never see them make up, but I can't see it happening. Ali's doctor was a ****.

    If it was biased for Fraizer its about god damn time.

    The world bums Ali and this shows what a racist idiot he was.


    Liked the Larry Holmes 10 seconds aswell..

    Ali as a boxer was overrated... and that was it

    Who was Ali really playing up to by calling Frazier a Gorrilla? :think

    I suggest he was humouring the whites with this pathetic taunt and humouring the blacks by calling him an Uncle Tom. Such a nice chap wasn't he?

    Ali wasnt racist, he was for black rights. white men used to look at black men as inferior and Frazier being hypocrite got the backing of these white men and forgot about biggin up black men

    Like many an amateur poet, maybe he was looking for a word to rhyme with thrilla and Manila ?

    The doc was terribly one sided. Its good to hear from the other side so to speak, but dayumn the editing and manipulation of the producer was intended slam down Ali.

    lol @ Pacheo the fat old man, he was funny and did not give a toss!¬

    This was a great documentary. It really captured the hate and rivalry between the two. I found out some things that I didn't know before.

    Regarding Frazier-Tyson. I believe Tyson TKO's Frazier around the third round. If he doesn't get him out by round three, Frazier pours it on and will win the fight by late round TKO.
