A few of my favourites, 4 stars for Basilio and Owen, 5 stars for the rest.

all the HBO legendary nights are great even if you know the story inside out

The ring of fire link isn't working for me. Is it the link or me? I'm on my iPhone so that might be the reason..

It's you buddy, working fine.

I watched an episode of ESPN's 30 for 30 today, called Muhammad And Larry.

No prizes for guessing what it was about but it was pretty good, with footage of the training camps mixed with with modern day interviews of people like Angelo Dundee, Bert Sugar, other boxing experts that I'm ashamed to say I didn't know, and big Larry himself.

It also looked into Ali's physical decline and how people around him could see it before the Holmes fight.

Looking at the wiki page, there is another one about Mike Tyson's friendship with Tupac Shakur and what happened the night Tupac was murdered, after watching a metaphorically similar fate befall Bruce Seldon in Vegas.

I've not watched that one yet but I will soon. If nobody has seen it, I'll report back on here after.

I saw the one on ESPN classic on Tyson and Tupac was very interesting actually.

The Joe Louis Story:

Ok, I've watched the Tyson/Tupac one now too.

It was fine for what it was but if you're not into the whole hip-hop thing (which I'm not, really), it might be a bit too much of that and not enough boxing for you.

The previous one I mentioned (Muhammad And Larry) is far better for the boxing purists here.

Yeah no doubt Gialloblu, I found it pretty interesting but I find most documentaries that link in boxing interesting!!!
