- Quotes
George Chuvalo: When George Foreman hits you, it's like a Mack Truck hitting you at 40 miles an hour. And when Joe Frazier hits you, it's like a Pontiac car hitting you at 100 miles an hour. It's a different feel to it, you know? But they both hurt.

Featured review
They come along once in a lifetime.
It was 1964, I was 14 years old. It seems so long ago - well, it was. I was in the seminary in Subiaco Arkansas listening one night to Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston. It started a love of boxing that lasted a very long time.
This film was a blend of talking and boxing. It kept you glued to the screen so you wouldn't miss a word or a moment of action.
It was a well balanced film; giving the good and the bad. You gained a real insight into Muhammad Ali, and into those who fought him. A fight with Ali was literally a lifesaver for Ken Norton, who was broke.
An excellent documentary about a great man.
