I turned on the TV while I was opening my bed and there it was: a movie about one of the heroes of my youth, Muhammad Ali. I watched on TV all his fights and even though I did not know a thing about box previously, he had such a magnetic personality that I was enchanted from the beginning. In this documentary movie not only can we see his career as a heavyweight boxer, but also about the reasons behind his change of name and his conversion to Islam. It is a movie worth seeing by his fans and by those of us who lived this historical period.

I knew he changed his name, I didn't know he converted to Islam.

He changed his name when he converted to Islam. For a small amount of time he used an X insted of his last name, stating that Clay was the last name that the slave owners had given to his family.
