"Facing Ali" is a series of interviews and boxing footage of various fighters who'd fought against Muhammad Ali. Most of the footage was stuff I'd seen already in documentaries such as "Thrilla in Manilla," "The Rumble in the Jungle," "When We Were Kings," and "Muhammad Ali: The Greatest" (2001). The most enlightening part of this particular documentary is the interviews.
They interviewed Sir Henry Cooper, George Chuvalo, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Ron Lyle, Ernie Shavers, Leon Spinks, Ernie Terrell, and Larry Holmes. In a lot of ways it was hard to watch because, with the exception of George Foreman, every fighter needed subtitles; their speaking was so unintelligible, and you know that's due to the amount of punches they'd taken over their career.
