New documentary about Frazier-Ali debuts Saturday on HBO

Between UFC 94, Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz and a new documentary about Ali-Frazier on HBO my DVR will be extremely busy Saturday night. 

Ali and Frazier represent the pinnacle of boxing in American culture. Since these two titans left the scene a long winter has engulfed the 'sweet science'. This Saturday night a new documentary will premiere on HBO. 

The Associated Press has a wonderful new interview with Joe Frazier and it delves into the deep divide that separated these two men. 

"I don't mind people want to think Muhammad is the greatest fighter around," Frazier said. "Everybody wants to make him great because of his mouth, that he was the best. He was good, but that doesn't make him great. I proved that."    

I highly suggest that fight fans read the article, it is a fascinating look at such a prominent chapter of American sports.
