    Yes, indeed, but I’m stunned it’s on the boxing hating channel!
    I think it’s an 8 parter, so there’s bound to be some unseen material.

    Should have also mentioned Ken Burns previously made a great film on Jack Johnson, Unforgivable Blackness.
    I’ve seen all of his others on Prohibition Jazz, Baseball, The Dust bowl etc, all first class.

    boring and been done to death. No wonder non -boxing people only know Muhammed Ali and MikeTyson

    should do a documentary on someone like Tony Canzoneri, Willie Pep, Jimmy Wilde
