"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." --- Muhammad Ali
For a two-hour documentary on the most charismatic and at one point most hated boxer of the 20th Century, MUHAMMAD ALI: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE WORLD does a credible job of telling the man's story, covering the same ground many other such works before and since have tread. There's no surprises here for anyone who's seen them.The best of all Ali bios is Turner Home Entertainment's six-hour, six chapter MUHAMMAD ALI: THE WHOLE STORY, especially for anyone interested in seeing major portions of his ring career.For this boxing fan, that is the primary flaw of "Eyes of the World." Except for the first Sonny Liston bout, there's only brief highlights of about 10 fights, including the three Frazier matches. Here, as everywhere else, there's NO footage of Ali vs. Holmes.Because it was produced in Britain, sprinkled in with the usual cast of commentors (Dr. Ferdie, Angelo D., the inevitable Bert Sugar) are folks like Richard Harris and comic Billy Connolly. Billy Crystal and other familiar faces tell their usual Ali stories. Two of the Champ's four wives participate as does one of his nine kids. James Earl Jones expresses pride and love, Maya Angelou wishes she'd written "Float like a butterfly," Rod Steiger removes his ever-present cap and bares a bald head to honor the achievements, both inside the ring and out, of the most popular man on the planet.We see Ali's tragic deterioration from Parkinson's syndrome, his brave lighting of the '96 Olympic torch while ravaged with illness, and how he appeared when this film was made in 2001. The last thought we're left with is (paraphrased): don't feel sorry for Muhammad, for he has no regrets.No regrets and the heart of a true champion.

I am very pleased with the DVD and its content. I was disappointed in one of our own (black american) disparaging muhammad's religious beliefs and felt the need to prove to his master what side he is on. Other than that...it is something for the archives. The seller was perfect.

good dvd to get to know more of ali's life as a boxer!
a bit disappointing...! Hoped to get more archive-information and images of all the fights which ultimately got him to the top and made him world-champion, again and again!

He was loved all over the world and even though our paths ...
It's hard to believe that Ali is no longer a living person on this planet. He was full of energy, full of bravado yet in retrospect very humble. He was true to his convictions and brave in the face of adversity that came from his need to be free. He was loved all over the world and even though our paths never crossed, I must say I loved him and I'm sad he is gone.This documentary gives similar sentiments from very eloquent people who had personal contact and interaction with him. They praise him and look up to him.And when he was weak and trembling unable to control his body, he took it with his head held high. This documentary brought back wonderful memories of my youth when I was Muhammed Ali. He was as great as a human being can be
