Yo, el mejor

Sharon Stone met Muhammad Ali when she was 17. She was in the Miss Pennsylvania pageant and Ali was in Hershey, PA, when Stone was there, and she met him. And then Ali called her father and offered her a part in this film. The late boxing champ predicted movie stardom while her father was skeptical. Stone's father said, ''She is not going to be in film.'' Ali told her father, ''You may think that she is not, but she is. You cannot hide that girl under a bushel basket. Her light is too bright."

Muhammad Ali is shown fighting Joe Bugner during the montage of bouts that took place between the first Joe Frazier fight in 1971 and the first Ken Norton fight in 1973. However, the footage actually is taken from the second fight with Bugner in 1975 instead of their first fight in 1973. Not only is this out of sequence for the montage, but the second Bugner fight occurred after the Ali vs. George Foreman fight in 1974 which is the climax of the film.
