He was just a larger then life figure. If anything you should have seen from the footage (racist attacks aside) the guy was very charismatic (my favorites were the comb bit and the press conference after the second fight). Hell he could have talked about cooking green beans and it would have sounded interesting.

On top of that he was a great fighter. He beat Fraizer twice including that last minute knock out of Joe Fraizer. And among others he beat George Foreman who just murdered Frazier.

Either way amazing documentary but your right we should start to look at these guys for what they really are before we go around singing their praises.
