    One of the best Documentaries I have seen on a sports icon
    HBO doing wonders as usual with this inspiring and gripping documentary of Muhammad Ali. Perfectly capturing Ali for who he is and what he was about. The impact he had on those around him is clearly evident and you feel a connection with Ali while watching this masterpiece. This would definitely be the first Muhammad Ali documentary I would recommend to anyone if they were interested in learning about Ali.
