If you've never seen this series, sample this episode. It's great and the editing and writing is superb. This is one of my favorites from the series and I chose to start this thread with this particular episode first, even though it didn't air first, because when I was a kid this was my first Heavyweight Boxing match that I actually cared about and would watch from start to finish. I had discovered Cooney a couple of years before this fight and was just sold on him as a fighter as well as a personality. I didn't like Holmes. He just rubbed me the wrong way and I didn't like the fact that he was taking over for Ali. They weren't even in the same class or skill.
