        I have yet to see either doc's but....

        I've never seen anything better than "Facing Ali"!
        To see, & hear that all-star cast of HW's like Norton, Fraizer, Lyle, Cooper, Holmes, Foreman, Spinks, Terrell, Shavers, & to me the most intelligent, and candid fighter of the bunch, George Chavilo.
        This is a must see. To finally hear Fraizer reconcile with Ali. Norton, Foreman, Holmes, Lyle give the GOAT mad props gave me goosebumps....
        Ernie Terrell forgave him, & Leon Spinks... Yes one of the most forgotten HW title holders in the history of boxing, speaks about those two bouts with Ali....
        This was well done, well thought, and noting was sugar coated.
        Just boxers talking about boxing, the times, and the man who they faced!

          Watched them both a couple weeks ago. I like the Manny documentary more, the Ali doc was pretty good too though.

            should have put an option for both.

            they both are equally as good

              Watched the Pacman one today.

              Felt like they left alot of stuff out. They never really spoke about what made Manny such a great boxer and different from everyone else. They only touched on the the DLH fight and none others without explaining really why it was such a big deal other than he was bigger. Only a handful of boxers were interviewed as well, should've spoke to other former Manny victims.

              No real boxing content but I suppose its not as much for boxing fans, more for casual mainstream interest?

              Though seeing what it was like in the Philippines and growing up was cool- plus the insight into all the dodgy people surrounding Manny, thought that was brave to portray them as the douchebags they are etc.
