This documentary cements itself as one of the greats in boxing history. Out of the numerous films, books, documentaries and other assorted material on Muhammad Ali, Facing Ali surely is in the top 5. With no interviews of the legend himself, Pete McCormack crafts an intimate and touching portrait of Ali through the eyes of his biggest rivals. George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes, Ron Lyle, Ken Norton, Earnie Shavers, Leon Spinks and Ernie Terrell all have unique voices into what it meant to fight the champ and on the legacy he left. Chuvalo in particular speaks exceptionally well, giving analysis to both Ali the man and the fighter. This is an unmissable treat.
