Content: These three Ali fights were not only great moments in sports history. They were also memorable events from a historical standpoint. Muhammad Ali is the reason why there is so much money in sports today. Salaries were modest before Ali's time. They grew exponentially during his time. And they virtually exploded later on.

And his first fight with Sonny Liston changed boxing history forever, just as Tiger Woods' record breaking Master's win in 1998 changed golf forever. Buy this 3 tape vhs set, and own a piece of history. See a young Ali box rings around Liston. See a cagey Ali 10 years later dismantle the younger, more powerful George Foreman. And watch in awe as a heavier, aging Ali goes toe to toe with Joe Frazier in their third fight, the famed Thrilla in Manila.
Summary: Ali's greatest fights - Great collector's item!

Content: It's important to keep in mind that these videos are the whole fights (Liston, Foreman, and Frazier III), not an assemblage of the most thrilling moments replete with docu-sport commentary. I was a little disappointed, b/c I expected something different -- but, admittedly, that's mostly my fault.
Summary: These are the whole fights, not a highlight reel...

Content: I gave this gift to my husband for Christmas and he totally loved it. I usually think boxing is boring but these fights were interesting and kept like what's next. Muhammad Ali was a great fighter. I recommend this to anybody. We really enjoyed it.
God Bless YOU! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting love.John 3:16
Summary: An awesome gift for any men that loves boxing!!

Content: I'm 28 and I've always known that Ali was the greatest without ever seeing one of his fights. Until I watched the uncut footage of three of the greatest fights of all time. Ali vs. Liston I, the thriller in manilla and the rumble in the jungle. This is the actual footage and commentary that was broadcast. Watching it was like traveling through a time machine. I was back there watching Ali demolish Liston, the most intimidating and feared fighter of all time (including iron-bite tyson!). Watch the first round, as Ali dances around Liston too quick to be hit. Listen to Joe Lewis trying to defend Liston at the end of the fight after Liston doesn't answer the bell. Watch Ali invent the rope-a-dope against foreman. I watched the entire Frazier fight in slow motion, marveling at the incredible exchanges between the fighters. See if you can find where the tide of the Frazier fight shifts to Ali's corner........ I hignly recommend reading "King of the World" by David Remnick before watching this video. It will set the stage for you to appreciate why Ali's defeat of Liston was the greatest upset of boxing history. It will also allow you to appreciate the background to the fight that you won't get from watching the video....Liston's mob connection, Ali's secret conversion to the Nation of Islam, Malcom X sitting at ringside, the truth about Ali's antics at the weigh-in, and Ali's comments to the reporters at ringside......Unforgettable videos and worth every dime

Content: These videos show all three phases of Ali's amazing career: he beats Liston with speed, Frazier with power, and Foreman with brains.

This is a great set of videos, but I sure wish I could find the first two Ali-Frazier fights in a similar package.
