Muhammad Ali the greatest

Documentary about Muhammad Ali, based on the experiences of photojournalist William Klein, who covered the 1964 match in which the young Cassius Clay beat the seemingly invincible World Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston. Klein was subsequently granted behind-the-scenes access to other fights with Liston, as well as the legendary 1974 Rumble in the Jungle in which Ali fought George Foreman.

  • "An introduction to Ali's life from his childhood to the present day, focusing on his career and the controversies surrounding him. Both his talent in the boxing ring and his showmanship earned him international fame, while his refusal to accept the stereotypical role of a black athletic star in the 1960s and his membership in the Nation of Islam brought him notoriety. Myers interweaves fight sequences with the boxer's life story and the political events and issues of the day. He doesn't shy away from reporting on the brutality of the sport and documents the toll it has taken on its many stars. Ample black-and-white photographs of the subject in and out of the ring illustrate the book. Covering Ali is a daunting task, especially since dozens of books and hundreds of articles have been written about him in the last 40 years. Fortunately, young adults have their own award-winning author, one with the perspective of being a young African American in Harlem during the height of the boxer's fame, to tell his story. Myers's writing flows while describing the boxing action and the legend's larger-than-life story."@en

Au lendemain de cette victoire, il révèle qu'il est membre des Black Muslims, se convertit à l'islam, change de nom et défie l'Amérique blanche. Ayant refusé de faire son service militaire pour protester contre la discrimination raciale et l'engagement américain au Viêt-nam, il est déchu de son titre en 1967. Après trois ans d'inactivité, il peut revenir sur le ring et reconquérir le titre mondial en 1974 contre George Foreman. Il retrouve sa gloire, sa couronne, sa légende."
