December 25, 2001 — A mixed review by Mike Clark. Here's a clip:

Only intermittently does Smith capture Ali's incomparable career-prime bravado, though he does look good in the ring opposite the physically well-cast actors who play Liston (Michael Bentt), Joe Frazier (James Toney) and Foreman (Charles Shufford). The actresses who play sundry wives and lovers (Jada Pinkett Smith, Nona Gaye, Michael Michele) convince as well, though the champ's romantic entanglements keep getting in the movie's way.
