Summary: Memories of the golden era of heavyweight boxing
Review: A truly tremendous compilation of Muhammad Ali's best fights. You will get the entire fights along with walk-ins, as well as pre- and after fight hoopla. The best thing is that the fights are shown with the original broadcasting commentary, so the excitement really makes you feel like actually being there back in the seventies. The only drawback of this DVD is the 60 min HBO documentary focusing on the entire career of Ali, where they show only short fight flicks with mixed over studio sounds and studio commentary. In my opinion, the overall quality of the DVD would have been better without the documentary. Sometimes, less is more!

Summary: Ali - The Ultimate Boxer & Showman
Review: After watching this DVD I was reminded just how fantastic Ali really was. To see his pranks & showboating inside & outside the ring was amazing, especially when you consider what was at stake every time he stepped in the ring. His personality and currage is an inspiration to us all. The footage of the fights is very in depth, with all the build up and after fight interviews etc. Also the Documentery is well put together, a great tribute. If you have only the slightest interest in boxing this is still a must buy, and for the fans it's a gem. Boxing in a different class!

Summary: Simply Superb
Review: I already have these three fights on VHS. The filming of the fights is very good and you feel as if you are right at the ringside. I will whole heartedly recommend this DVD to evrybody. I use these fights to educate my children not only about one of the greatest sportman of our time, but also to ingrain in them the values of standing their own ground in the face of mounting adversity. Ali, the Champ.... you will always live in our hearts...

Summary: THE THREE CORNERSTONE FIGHTS OF MUHAMMAD ALI ON ONE DVD!!!!!
Review: If you are a collector of boxing matches then this DVD is a must have for all collectors and fans of boxing and Muhammad Ali. You get Clay vs. Liston I , Ali vs. Foreman , and , what is considered one of the best and most grueling boxing matches ever , Ali vs. Frazier III ; The Thrilla in Manilla. You also get the one hour tribute to Ali called "Boxings Best:Muhammad Ali". Some other VHS copies of these fights only give you the rounds fought with limited pre and post fight footage. Here in this DVD you see all fights in their entirety from the pre-fight footage to ring walks to between round footage to post fight footage. Jim Lampley is your host but you only see him before and after all three of the classic programs , which is great , and its all courtesy of HBO Sports. It , also , comes with a CD-Rom called "The Ali Influence". Each round is split up as chapters which allows you to go straight to a favorite round. You will get the inconsistencies and flaws unique to the original sources of footage , otherwise , you get top digital performance from this DVD. These are pretty clear copies of the fights. Now that these fights are on DVD a fan can now analize these fights further by freeze framing and slow motioning the fights to see fighting techniques , punches landed , etc. In Clay-Liston 1 you see at the end of the fight that Howard Cosell was the first announcer to get to Clay but the mother of all post fight interviews was saved for announcers Steve Ellis and Joe Louis when Clay shouts "I Shook Up The Word!" almost shouting Ellis through the ropes. Its so funny to see Ellis struggling to maintain decorum while bedlam broke out and Clay was shouting his famous words. You see the whole post fight segment up to Clay leaving the ring. Post fight interviews would never be the same after that. It was historical and funny. In Ali-Foreman you see the ring walk of Ali and the ring "run" of Foreman. Before buying this DVD I never knew when after Ali entered the ring that Foreman made him wait about 7 minutes in the ring. You see all 7 minutes here and the entire pre fight ceremony. After the fight you see the celebration not only in the ring but also in the dressing room. You see Ali pointing straight into the camera and shouting down the critics who picked him to lose. Remember that Ali's title was taken away from him for not fighting in Vietnam because of his religious beliefs. So after about a 3 year exile from boxing , his return to boxing , his struggle to regain the championship after losing to Frazier and Ken Norton(Norton breaking his jaw) , critics saying that he's old , washed up , and a joke , then beating Frazier and Norton in 2 long fights , and to finally win back the title he was stripped of in his prime 7 long years earlier , against a man who many people thought was going to destroy Ali was a monumental achievement for Ali. It was the epitome of perseverance. In this post fight interview you see all of the fustration and anger from those 7 years and happiness from finally getting his title back come out because he proved to the world that he was the true king of the heavyweights. It is footage that is rarely shown completely and the interview is shown right up to Ali chanting "Louisville is the greatest!". So if you have a DVD player and you are a Muhammad Ali fan then you must get this DVD. Clay-Liston I , The Rumble in the Jungle , The Thrilla in Manilla , a tribute to Ali , all on one DVD and an Ali CD-Rom. It doesn't get much better than this.
