    Off the top of my head, there is a good one on the Ali-Chuvalo fight, one on Art Hafey, One National Divisible, on Ali-Frazier I, One on Don King, can't remember the name. The are a bunch of good ones on Amazon Prime Video if you have it.

    It maybe stating the obvious, but I still yet to see anything better than When We Were Kings. Whatever you think of the Oscars, to win one in the Documentary category generally means it is brilliant.

    Joe Louis: For All time
    In a pre-Internet era, it was thanks to this documentary that I was able to get a better idea of the greatness of the Brown Bomber. I remember how I got electrified with the images of his bouts watching the documentary.
