The Greatest

I remember watching Cassius Clay, aka Muhammed Ali, when he was boxing in the 1960 Olympics, earning a gold medal. He acts in this himself and it's not a bad keepsake -- if you can still find it.

This here's the story of Cassius ClayWho changed his name to Muhammad AliHe knows how to talk and he knows how to fightAnd all the contenders were beat out of sightSing, Muhammad, Muhammad AliHe floats like a butterfly and stings like a beeMohammed, the black supermanWho calls to the other guy I'm Ali catch me if you canNow all you fight fans, you've got to agreeThere ain't no flies on Muhammad AliHe fills the arena wherever he goesAnd everyone gets what they paid forMuhammad, was known to have saidYou watch me shuffle and I'll jab off your headHe moves like the black supermanAnd calls to the other guy I'm Ali catch me if you canHe says I'm the greatest the worlds ever seenThe heavyweight champion who came back againMy face is so pretty you don't see a scarWhich proves I'm the king of the ring by farSing, Muhammad, Muhammad AliHe floats like a butterfly and stings like a beeMohammed, the black supermanWho calls to the other guy I'm Ali catch me if you canSing, Muhammad, Muhammad AliHe floats like a butterfly and stings like a beeMuhammad, the black supermanWho calls to the other guy I'm Ali catch me if you canI'm Ali catch me if you can

This goes down in history watching the real champ playing his role.

This movie came on my local t.v channel the other day...I had never seen it, but after watching it I decided that I had to have it to add to my movie collection....I thought it was a great movie...Its a biographical movie of the life and career of Muhammed Ali starring Ali as himself, and what a great job of acting he did....!! He is just an iconic figure in world sports history and an original character that will never be matched in talent or personality....When I was young I hated Muhammed Ali and when I watched him fight on t.v, I always rooted for the other guy...I especially liked Joe Frazier instead....the Smokin Joe and Ali fights were the greatest fights of all time......Its just a great movie to own.....I highly reccommend it to any sports fan or boxing fan or Ali fan.

Nice dvd.

This is not a masterpiece in the art of movies. Nothing in this one deserves an Oscar, but it is a piece of history to research the legend of Mohamad Ali. Here you have him for ever in his best moment. You can feel your self near to him and know him better. It's increíble to think he acted the moments he lived by his own, a very realistic perspective about what really happened in his life. I see this movie as a historical documental, although it isn't no by it self.

It’s in the title. He was awesome!

I found 'The Greatest' to be a more enjoyable film than Ali (2001) starring Will Smith. No one can play the champ better than the man himself and I found him to be a breath of fresh air in this well made picture. It is not high budget and does not have a strong storyline apart from the fact it is a biographical picture but Muhammad Alis' acting and dialogue is a must watch for anybody with an interest in the phenomenon that was and is Muhammad Ali.
