    Quality is a little spotty but I think this might contain most of the lineal heavyweight championship title fight up until Ali reclaiming the title a third time against Spinks. Never seen them all collected in one place before in a row, I kind of enjoy watching the progression of the sport in such an arranged way, and the old school newsreel narration is always a treat in old fight films. Enjoy.

    Aw sick, a reupload of a doc that is already widely distributed with better quality versions on the very same platform that this was uploaded on.

    This documentary is actually like the crippled little brother of Kings of the Ring, Legendary Champions, and In This Corner:

    The quality is very poor and there is no new or unique content in it.

    Pretty sure I've seen it on Youtube before, but maybe it was taken down because the lazy authors made no creative alterations to the original work.

    Of course the quality is very poor, it's a late 70's release, hence why it only covers up until Ali.

    "Crippled little brother" because it was made decades before these other documentaries? Yeah, right....

    I can't resist the temptation to throw this out there.
