From a breezy and humorous screenplay to giving us an insight of how the boxing business works, this movie is the champ. Notable also is how the film treats Ali - not as the godlike figure we've come to know,but as another boxer looking to get his. Ving is just ENVELOPED in this role; often with film biogs, we are put off by the lack of resemblance to the real thing (see the horrid "season on the brink" TV movie about Bobby Knight) both physically and in mannerisms - not here.
