I just watched "Facing Ali" and the answer is if you like really well made boxing documentaries than you should watch it. "Facing Ali" is a documentary that follows Ali's career chronologically by interviewing the men that fought him. All the great challengers are here given their versions of the legendary fights. The doc does a great job of weaving, "where are they now" style pieces, along with each man telling how they got started in boxing. Each challenger and champ talks about how the fight with Ali affected their lives both good and bad. The movie is well paced and nicely edited. It is a good companion to "When We Were Kings" another great documentary about Ali. But where "When We Were Kings" focus on "The Greatest" in his prime. "Facing Ali" chronicles the many seasons of Ali's career. The stories here are told by the men who knew him in the ring-where it counted, and listening to them recount tales of the punches they took and the shots they delivered, made for an interesting picture.
