    OK overview of the career

    Biggest problem is, as with most modern under-60-min documentaries, interviewing people with no credibility on topic. LL Cool J, I respect him as a pioneer of hip-hop, but he just does not have a place in this kind of documentary. If you want to make a film about Muhammad Ali's impact on contemporary culture, then OK invite artists and other people, but not here.

    Also a big problem is opening a bunch of topics as segregation, political instability in 60s, human rights movement, African American pride and then not closing those topics. They just say: "oh he wasn't getting a table in his hometown" and not following up on the issue. Overly simplifying complex topics.
