    I think its awesome how he is describing going into beast mode vs holyfield.
    What are some other must see boxing documentaries?
    I think about watching facing ali next, I dont know if its good though, i hope so.

    I haven't watched many documentaries on boxing at all if I am honest. I will be keeping a look out for the the titles mentioned above though.

    However, that Tyson documentary was actually ****ing amazing. I highly recommend it to anybody that hasn't seen it.

    The HBO "Legendary Nights" series is pretty amazing too. Leonard vs Hagler, Bowe vs Holyfield, Moorer vs Foreman, Oscar vs Tito (my favorite of the bunch). They're all really well done.
