Didn't Will Smith win an Oscar for playing Ali in a biopic??? I might have to stream that.

 

Only nominated but lost out to someone else.

He did a pretty good job. I think the movie would have been more popular had it come out a hundred years from now. People remember the real Ali and those are shoes even Will Smith couldn't fill.

 

Still its well worth a watch.

He just reminds me of when I lived at home with my parents. He was a hero of my father. Someone he tried to emulate. I also think Will should've won that Oscar. Edited by Boots

Since he passed away only a little over three years ago, it's hard to believe that a great legend is gone. R.I.P., Muhammad.

You're welcome Syrinx!

The Ali episode of the show is absolutely brilliant. I watched it three times at one stretch when I first discovered it. Love his reactions and all the facial expressions. Priceless moments!

:musicnote: Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali, :musicnote:

 

It's a nice musical name....Muhammad Ali.

He's back at work again; he's being allowed to work once again, Muhammad Ali.

 

He wasn't for awhile, as you know. For about three and a half years, they didn't let him work.

'Course he had an unusual job, beating people up. It's a strange calling, y'know?

But it's one you're entitled to. Government didn't see it that way.

Government wanted him to change jobs. Government wanted him to kill people.

 

He said, "No, that's where I draw the line. I'll beat 'em up, but I don't wanna kill 'em."

 

And the government said, "Well, if you won't kill 'em, we won't let you beat 'em up! Ah, ha, ha, ha."
