Synopsis by Elizabeth Smith

Whether viewers agree with Muhammad Ali's self-promotion that he was "the greatest" or not, they may still be moved by this ringside footage and additional coverage of Ali's last fight. In 1981, Ali stepped into the ring with Jamaican-born Trevor Berbick, still thinking he could defeat anyone. The ten-round brawl proved to be more of a challenge than Ali could handle, most likely due to the many injuries he suffered during his career. Though it was the fifth loss of his career, he retired with 56 wins in his favor. This is a two-tape set that shows the entire fight, a pre-fight press conference, and interview footage.
