VHS : Ali's Greatest Fights - I Shook Up the World (Clay vs. Liston 1964) / Rumble in the Jungle (Ali vs. Foreman 1974) / Thrilla in Manila (Ali vs. Frazier III 1975)
These three Ali fights were not only great moments in sports history. They were also memorable events from a historical standpoint. Muhammad Ali is the reason why there is so much money in sports today. Salaries were modest before Ali's time. They grew exponentially during his time. And they virtually exploded later on.

And his first fight with Sonny Liston changed boxing history forever, just as Tiger Woods' record breaking Master's win in 1998 changed golf forever. Buy this 3 tape vhs set, and own a piece of history. See a young Ali box rings around Liston. See a cagey Ali 10 years later dismantle the younger, more powerful George Foreman. And watch in awe as a heavier, aging Ali goes toe to toe with Joe Frazier in their third fight, the famed Thrilla in Manila.

VHS : Champions Forever
Some surprising and candid comments especially by Foreman like the fact that his knees were shaking before the Frazier fight and how imposing Norton looked to him before blasting out both of them.

VHS : When We Were Kings
in this viewer's eyes, ali is the greatest sports figure of our time. as i watched this powerful documentary, other sports heroes of mine -- michael jordan, lance armstrong -- faded away in comparison to the athletic skill, courage, wisdom, presence and sheer humanity of ali. focused on ali's fight against foreman in zaire, this documentary is about that and much more. it captures ali at his peak. the humor. the intelligence. the courage. the honesty about race in america. the willingness to stand up for his beliefs at great cost. the phenomenal, unmatched boxing skill. this movie makes clear that ali transcended his sport to become an icon and leader across the globe.

this is one to watch for inspiration, for entertainment, to remember and enjoy, and to show your kids.

VHS : Sonny Liston: The Mysterious Life & Death of a Champiom
As I was growing up, I always considered myself a quasi-Boxing historian. One part of my interest in Boxing was the lineage that followed the champions in the various weight classes. Of course, the lure of the Heavyweight Division was too much to resist - therefore I sought to learn about the various champions. Sonny Liston, who was Heavyweight Champion from 1962 through 1964 was someone who was well known to me. Being a Muhammad Ali fan, I knew him as the man who Ali (then Cassius Clay) dethroned for the Heavyweight title. I also knew him as the fighter who defeated the first two-time Heavyweight Champion, Floyd Patterson. There was also a wealth of stories that were told about Sonny Liston- namely his alleged connections to organized crime, his alleged participation in both of his fights ... Read More

VHS : Boxing's Best - Boxing's Greatest Champions
For ten dollars (which should be fairly cheap, right?), the commentary, footage and insight is lowsy. A couple minutes of each boxer simply isn't enough.
The only exception is a couple minutes of great footage of Duran from '71.
Other than that, don't waste your money, and don't waste your time on this one.

And if you doubt me, watch this video. Worth the price even without the fights. This man is so incredibly entertaining, such an amazing fighter. So far ahead if his time in every way. Im a true ali fan. This collection is better than any dvd or book on Ali. Footage of him at 15 saying "I'm the Greatest"! hilarious Boxing history and American history. Show it to anyone who will watch. They will thank you.

VHS : Body & Soul
THis is one of my guilty pleasures. Its not that its a bad movie but it is so cliche' but who cares? Because this movie is just what it should be, a feel good story where the hero wins and the bad guys get whats coming to them. Too Sweet goes legit and becomes Leon the Lover. This is one of those movies that can play in the background when your cleaning up. It is what it is but its so good at doing what it do.

VHS : Freedom Road
In High School I had to read Howard Fast's novel "Freedom Road" and thought it was very good and had me reading it in one setting. I watched the "mini-series" when it came on, and while I enjoyed it I felt the acting wasn't very good and felt that Muhammad Ali wasn't quite ready to be an actor and wasn't the best choice to play in this. Other than the acting(I felt the whole cast wasn't into the movie like they should have been) that this was just fine.
