What are your thoughts on boxing? I know it's an ancient sport, and very brutal. But I grew up watching it with my dad on the old black and white TV's as a very small child, cheering along with my dad for Jake Lamotta or Sugar Ray, or Rocky Marciano.
This really shows how formative things can be with small children, I think, since I was preschool when exposed to this.
I don't follow contemporary boxing, and I guess Ali was the last great that I paid any attention to.
I like Boxing history...Jack Johnson, about whom the broadway and movie productions were made: THE GREAT WHITE HOPE. Also loved Robert Deniro in RAGING BULL.
