Assault in the Ring
When We were Kings
Southpaw
Broken Noses
Recently there was a great Documentary about the Klitschko Bros. (I believe it was on HBO) Vitali & Wlad came from humble beginnings, and aside from boxing this was an interesting story. I came away from watching the Doc, with a lot of respect for both pugs.
"When We were Kings" (Ali vs. Foreman) was one of the best Docs ever, I also liked theQuote:

Ali and Larry
Tyson, raw
The rocky Marciano one
The Ray Mancini one.
Assault in the ring
There's a few more and some are already play listed on my YouTube m8
YouTube : YoungFraz
A night in Vegas I think it was called about Tyson and Tupac.
Chuck Wepner, the real rocky was a good watch. So was the one on Sugar Ray Robinson but can't think what it was called
The Ali Holmes documentary is just so sad to watch,it still makes me angry .Quote:

The HBO Boxing Deaths one was good. Sad, but a decent watch. It investigated the deaths of Arturo Gatti, Alexis Arguello and Vernon Forrest.
I'm not sure what it was called, but I liked the Lennox Lewis one before the Rahman rematch (I think). I remember seeing a one on Naz leading up to and after the Barrera fight too, that was quite good.
Naz documentary showed what a prat and out of control fighter he had become. Emanuel Steward could do nothing to save him at that late stage of his fight with Barrera.Quote:

HBO's Legendary Nights: 'Julio Cesar Chavez Vs. Meldrick Taylor'
Sadly Meldrick Taylor's career was never the same after that ... truly a boxing tragedy
Should've gave the man a W that night
All of the Legendary Nights episodes are classics. I wished that they made more.Quote:
