For many reasons, the Foreman v Ali bout was the greatest sporting event in history. There have been better fights, but no greater sporting events.
Sports should be devoid of politics.
This documentary was mediocre at best due to demonstrable and abject lack of boxing knowledge of sportscasters and writers. Ali was appeared confident before the bell signaling the start of the first round. Ali was in control of the entire fight. I've never believed Foreman won a single round. And no, Ali was never afraid of Foreman. Ali had done his homework. His superior athleticism and intellect accorded him an insurmountable advantage.
It would have been a much better documentary had it included interviews of knowledgeable boxing experts. Sportscasters and writers, unless they have been athletes in sports they're covering, are usually clueless.
