On a produit quelques films et documentaires sur la vie du célèbre boxeur, mais si je devais n'en revoir qu'un seul mon choix serait "When we were kings". Le film de Leon Gast, qui s'était mérité l'Oscar du documentaire en 1997, raconte le combat de Foreman et Ali à Kinshasa en 1974. Tout y est, musique, contexte politique, portée historique et bien sûr combat spectaculaire.
"He antagonized opponents with his taunts, amused reporters with his boasts and angered government officials with his anti-war speeches. At the same time, he goaded a stubborn, hard-nosed society with his stinging jabs against pervasive racism.
Since the mid-1960s, he had been one of the most famous faces on Earth, and even though his appearances in recent years were few, the name Muhammad Ali still sparked smiles all around the globe.
His death Friday at age 74 came after a lengthy battle against Parkinson's disease. Ali was diagnosed with the disease in 1984, three years after he retired from a boxing career that began when a skinny 12-year-old Louisville, Kentucky, amateur put on the gloves."
