The Greatest:
The incredible career of perhaps the greatest boxer of all time - Muhammad Ali - is dramatised in this exciting film staring Ali himself. Fresh from his gold medal victory at the Olympic Games, 18 year - old Cassius Clay is ready to seek the heavyweight championship. Under the masterful guidance of trainer Angelo Dundee (Ernest Borgnine), Clay snatches the title form Sonny Liston. Soon afterward, Clay converts to the Islam religion and changes his name to Muhammad Ali. When he is suddenly classified 1A by the Draft Board that earlier rejected him, Ali refuses the draft on religious grounds. His hard one title is taken from him. Winning a three-and-a-half-year long court battle, Ali returns to the ring for what may have been some of his greatest fights of all time.
When We Were Kings:
This is a legend of Cassius Clay, the most beautiful fighter in the world today. He talks a great deal and brags indeedy, of a muscular punch that is incredibly speedy. The fistic world was dull and weary, with a champion like Liston things had to be dreary. Then someone with colour, someone with dash, brought fight fans all running with cash. This brash young boxer is something to see, and the heavy weight championship is his destiny. (Muhammad Ali, 1963)
