Just thought I'd share this poignant 6 part documentary I found on youtube about the P4P king of boxing.

It covers his rise from childhood to fighting, Jimmy Doyle, his european tours with the original "entourage", family life, how he was affected by money and of course his fierce ring rivalries with Lamotta, Fullmer, Basillio etc.

Particularly interesting the moment where he says he doesn't especially enjoy boxing and sees it as a way to make his fortune more than anything else.
