I hope he gets beat like a rug. I was watching these clips all day on you tube...man what a legend in and out of the ring. Is the movie with Will Smith playing him any good?

I don’t know because I wouldn’t risk seeing it and getting pissed off.
See... I absolutely loved Muhammad Ali
I am not a concientious objector.. I am not Muslim... but I adored Ali.
He was one of the few people at his level of stardom that I believe was 100% genuine. 100%.
He was the only one I can think of where I never thought “draft dodger” when I thought about his status regarding the ‘Nam war.
I’ve read several biographies.. watched every boxing match I ever had the chance to see.
Loved the guy..
I couldn’t risk Will Smith.

I couldn’t risk Will Smith. summed up my thoughts and feelings I might give it a whirl as it's a Michael Mann film and I actually don't mind his work compared to most of Hollywood. It is hard to see Smith or anyone playing him though.

It may be great for all I know, but I have just never thought anyone could capture him well enough for me to enjoy and not nitpick.
.. that is Ali the man...
Then there is what I feel about Ali the fighter. Most everyone thinks about 1970’s Ali.. A man that in the life span of a fighter was on the back side of the bell curve. Most don’t know the 60’s Ali who had 3 years of his prime years taken away from him.
The Greatest
