    The Ken Burns Ali Doc Debuts on PBS This Weekend

    - -Has Ali become passé these days?

    Ken an excellent documentary ethnologist, but also perhaps somewhat passé in a formulaic way by being exclusively with PBS with a bog standard of pics and music.

    With over a dozen Ali bios now, surely there is nothing new to be discovered. Back in the day, Ali, Tyson, and Rocky dominated the forums, but now pretty much disappeared save when Tyson/Roy was made.

    Whatever became of the defrocked Ali Jr, last living in the dregs without toilet facilities estranged from Ali's controlling estate?

    I didn’t know he was doing an Ali doc! Nice, always been a fan of Ken Burns. What a coincidence, just when I started watching his civil war series again,

      If 71 year old George Foreman decided to make a comeback like he did in 1987 and be a force in the HW division, would you support him?
