When We Were Kings is a 1996 documentary about his famous fight with George Foreman labelled the 'Rumble in the Jungle'. It's well worth a watch, but we've gone with another famous bout - the Thrilla in Manila.

Featuring in the 2009 Sundance Film Festival - the film chronicles one of the bitterest sports rivals ever - Ali and Frazier. It deftly tracks a personal battle between the pair, showing when they became American icons.
