Summary: The Greatest
Review: Anyone who is a fan of Muhammad Ali, or who understands or admires his greatness, it would be unfair for them not to see this movie. The words really dont do it Justice as to the Depth of it's content. The fights, in depth interviews, and out of the ring footage is truly remarkable. This is a must see for any Boxing fan.....

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST DVD OF ALL TIME!
Review: GREATNESS is all I can say about Ali and this dvd. If you like Ali now, after watching this dvd you'll love him. 6 hours of the most enertaining person of the 20th century,rare boxing footage of him in the Olympics, rare professional fights, great commentary from the people who were there, and seeing thousands of people of Zaire surrounding him chanting "Bomaye, Ali Bomaye" makes this a must own dvd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible
Review: Hell yeah ! I just finished watching it... This DVD is the ultimate for any boxing fans !

Shows pre-fight interviews, post-fight press conferences, the people interviewed in this were all closely related to Ali or the other boxers. Shows the important fights (Clay-Liston, Ali-Norton, Ali-Frazier 1 and 3, Ali-Foreman) almost in their entirety.

Incredible DVD ! Buy it !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The GREATEST Ali Set of ALL TIME!!!
Review: I bought the DVD version of this collection. It contains all 6 1 hour episodes and I'll tell ya, I enjoyed every minute. I recently saw the Ali movie, 3-times I might add...and this Set makes the movie look like nothing!

I was hoping that this set would have some good video footage of his most famous fights, some good insight into his life, and some good commentary. I wasn't sure if I should get it. Boy am I happy I did.

This set has so much footage of his fights it is amazing. They show nearly all of the Ali-Frazier I fight. They even show some of the Thrilla in Manila! They show the entire Rumble in the Jungle with Foreman. They show footage from 2 of his fights with Kenny Norton! They show clips of his fight with Holmes! They show him as an amateur, his first pro fight! They show him fight on his way to his first title. They show both Liston fights...I could go on!

What an amazing collection of footage. Then the commentary! Wow! His past handlers, his brother, Angelo Dundee, sports writers from the 60's and 70's...all these guys give commentary throughout the 6 episodes that carry you from fight to fight.

It is an amazing journey to sit and watch all 6 hours. I loved it! After watching this I really feel like I know the real Ali. What a great Set!

Summary: The 'Greatest' of all time
Review: I have always been a big Ali fan and have seen many videos about him. But this video is simply the best by far. It was informative, detailed and very enjoyable. There was nothing new that i did not know already from wathching previous Ali videos, only this one went into greater depth then the others. My admiration of Ali only grew with video by the way he stood up to the war in Vietnam and the fact that he was willing to lose all the things that he had like his heavyweight title and all the glories that come with it. No athlete today or ever would have sacrifice this much( this includes Michael Jordan or anyone else you care to name) for something they believed in. This video is a must for any Ali fan but also for anyone who wants to be inspired to achieve something great in their lives. After watching this video Ali, to me , was no longer just a great a athlete, but a great human being.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Footage
Review: I have yet to view anything concerning Ali that surpasses this documentary. This is an absolute must have for any Ali fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Too Pretty To Be A Fighter
Review: I popped some popcorn and settled onto my couch - and was blown away - watched the entire thing in 1 day

Some of the rarest and greatest footage I've ever seen!

It felt like a treat to watch the fights I've only read about - I watched both Liston fights! - how many people can say that?

As the fights are concerned - you get to see them! - you get to watch Ali dance and dance - you get to watch him float like a butterfly and sting like a bee - you get to watch him apply his craft - I've never seen the amount of Ali fights as I did on the day I watched these videos. To be fair - some of the fights you only get a couple of important rounds - but as a whole this is the greatest of any Ali VHS/DVD I've ever seen.

You get to see some others interviewed about Muhammad Ali - from his brother - To Angelo Dundee - to Malcolm X - it' just incredable the amount of footage that this makes available to you.

I know it's said a lot, but if you're an Ali fan you HAVE to own this...you have to!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The ultimate biography of Ali.....if you can afford it
Review: If you want to learn about Muhammad Ali and the impact he made on society and sports, then this is the video series for you. It has plenty of interesting interviews and exciting fight clips. As a bonus, about 80% of the first Frazier-Ali bout is shown. However, the price tag for this series is a bit steep. Maybe as a Christmas present.......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: If you're a fan of Ali, you're in for a treat. I have 6 documents regarding Ali, but The Whole Story is the best one.
