Has anyone else been watching the Muhammad Ali documentary on PBS? I checked it out and its actually a good one. They are showing the good and the bad parts of Ali and most dont do that. I recommend it for everyone on here.

Ken Burns always makes good documentaries. Check out the one he made about Jack Johnson, it's on youtube.
I wish he would've done one about another boxer though, there's millions of Ali docs already out there. -
Thanks for the tip I'll check that one out as well and I agree there are 100 Ali docs out there I like the way this is panning out though.Comment

There can never be enough documentaries about Ali because he was such a multilayered personality and he fought wars. Not like a lot of these guys today who try to avoid the best but yet walk around talking big. Ali fought the best of two decades. Many of them 2 and 3 times.Comment

There's a newish one on Netflix called Blood Brothers about himself and Malcolm X too,can't say if its well done or not as I haven't had the chance to watch it yet.
If you guys are looking for a great doc on boxers,Netflix has an extremely well done series on Athletes from all sports called "Untold",kinda reminds of HBO's 24/7 now that I think about it. One of the episodes is about Christy Martin. I remember the phenom she was back in the 90's but never new of her tumultuous career involving her manager/husband and the drug abuse. Great footage and watch imo,overall just an incredibly well done series,all of them actually.Comment

I saw the Christy Martin episode, it was pretty good. Never knew it was Mike Tyson himself who put her on his under card.
