Muhammed Ali is one of the most egotistical sports legends in history. I mean the title of the movie "The Greatest" . There are other boxers who could have put themselves on pedestals like that but they had more class.
I think the worst thing is ALI thinking not only is he the greatest boxer but so much better than everyone else like he is god . He was an excellent boxer but as a human being he tried to put himself above everyone else.A bit of a narcissist. Not a great movie ,average at best and Ali playing himself as an adult was just painful to watch.
