- Synopsis:
Muhammad Ali's brilliant ring moves and colorful rhetoric are the focus of this entertaining documentary, a retrospective of Ali's life. It truly relates his genius as a moving target and as the rat-a-tat-tat attack machine that no other fighter could duplicate. His moves were truly ring magic! Muhammad Ali was veritably the Michael Jordan of the boxing ring, as the video documentary brilliantly and entertainingly reveals. No other athlete was so adept at using his vocal cords and facial expressions to play with his opponents' minds. Now you can witness both: the Champ's "moves and mouth" as his gums flapped and his fists flew, as it actually happened. The documentary captures this unique and entertaining facet of Muhammad Ali - his "moves and mouth" and the legend they engendered. Not only is there rare footage of Ali's "pearls of wisdom", but also highlights of Ali's greatest fights, many of which have been generally blacked out on television. Included is the "Rumble in the Jungle" (October 30, 1974), in which you will witness firsthand how Ali baffled champion George Foreman with his famous "rope-a-dope." The video also highlights the "Thrilla in Manila" (October l, 1975), in which Ali and Joe Frazier battled in the sweltering heat. Ali had predicted it would be "a thrilla and a chilla and a killa when I get the gorilla in Manila", which it proved to be. And, of course, the video also includes highlights of the "Fight of the Century" (March 8, 1971), which matched two undefeated heavyweight champions, Ali and Frazier.
Bert Sugar, Show Host
The late Bert Sugar has written and co-written more than 80 books and has served as editor of The Ring, Boxing Illustrated, and Fight Game magazines. Noted for his fedora and cigar, he was a mainstay of televised boxing events for decades. He was named the "Greatest Boxing Writer of the 20th Century" by the International Veterans Boxing Association and was generally regarded as one of the greatest sportscasters in the history of boxing. He even sparred with Ali once, to get the feel of what it might be like, just so he could write about what it was like to face him in the ring.- Actors:
