Thanks!
You never know when these researchers/Ali's estate will unearth something new and show something we haven't seen before.
I wonder if the archived fight footage will be as I remember it live?? his weigh-ins were events to not be missed.
At the first Liston fight weigh in he ranted/raved so much so, that his BP got so high, the weigh in Doctor almost decided to not approve of Clay (Ali) fighting.
sometime in the late 60's-early 70's I think Ali came to understand the entertainment value he possessed and his demeanor changed. he was both a Great Champion and a Great Entertainer that I think a lot of people didn't take seriously. I was a wee lad of five when he boxed in the Olympics, don't remember that, but I do recall the "buzz" about the first fight with Sonny Liston and saw the second. I think every man in America watched the first one. those 1960's fights were Ali at his absolute greatest.
