    Ali documentary

    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.

        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.

          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.

            I saw the preview about the Ali/Malcolm X doc I'll check it out and thanks for the heads up on the Untold doc I'll give it a look too.

              What's the name of the Jack Johnson documentary?

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

                    Yea man,even my wife who can give two ****s about sports thought it was fascinating. She thought the episode of the Malice at the Palace was great too.
