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:

It doesn't get any more real (or unreal) then these 2 Docs. ;)
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:

Yes it was not sure what happened... Let's try this again.

Assault in the Ring - one of the most touching documentary about what is in my opinion the most tragic episode of boxing history.
Sons of Cuba - An excellent documentary about the life and training of the cuban prodigies and how they do build their youth to become the most successful amateur boing powerhouse of all time.
On youtube...
"Unforgivable blackness"
Jack johnson documentary

The hate towards this man was unbelievable..the way he died was such as sad ending.
Having just had a look through this thread and the other thread CutMeMick posted a link to, I believe I have found the Wilfredo Gomez doc here:

Gonna have a watch now but just thought I'd let people know as it seems there was something of a struggle to find it online in the past :p Also, thanks to all who have posted suggestions, I had been looking for a new boxing documentary to watch for a quite some time ;D
Yeah I managed to find the DVD years ago and a friend of mine uploaded it to the net. I'm sure that's how it made it's way to YouTube.Quote:
