If you're a boxing fan I urge you to see the 2009 docu "Facing Ali." Tough to watch (and understand) old boxers at times, but cool to hear them talk about going up against the Greatest. Good clips that paint a nice picture of the recently passed Joe Frazier. Foreman, Holmes, Shavers, Norton, Spinks, Sir Henry Cooper all contrib. Good stuff.

Sounds interesting. Those were good times to follow boxing. I remember all the guys you listed, and back then several of the matches were on free broadcast TV. Damn I'm old.

If any of y'all are ever in Louisville I highly recommend going to the Ali Center. We went there over the summer for one of my grad classes, tons of stuff, a nice short film on him, plenty of his fights on demand to watch, it was really neat
