Anyone Watching the Ken Burns doc on Muhammad Ali?

On PBS, of course… episode 3 starts tonight at 7

Stumbled onto episode 1 just as it started Monday and have been glued to it ever since, it honestly may be Burns best work IMHO… it doesn’t hurt that it’s a modern subject, so there’s SO much great footage, pics and radio calls

I’m not even some big boxing history fan, but damn it’s riveting tv nonetheless… turn it on now if you can

Yeah the backstory on that really shed some light

Ali was just gangster ruthless early on, he would sell anyone out to get ahead

But one thing that spoke to me, is that his public bluster didn’t always match who he was behind the scenes… one day he’s a firebrand preaching the tenets of the Nation of Islam, the next he’s hosting all kinds of white people at his training retreat

He was many things, but I will never call him truly hateful… he was only that way with Frazier because he was the only guy who truly tested him

Wilder/Fury was full of promise, and the leadup matchups to them facing off had plenty of great content in their own right, . . too bad Wilder wore himself out with his ridiculous outfit before the fight itself.

And though he's not 'exciting' Canelo Alverez is as potent a mix of proficient and tough as **** as any weight group has had in a while. I rarely go in rooting for him and always leave respecting him.

And Golovkin, don't forget Golovkin.

Burns had no choice, if you’re talking Ali there is no avoiding woke talk… and it was portrayed masterfully here

No sides were taken, it was all presented matter of factly IMO… and I’ve criticized Burns plenty for letting his lefty views invade his story over the years

But that wasn’t the case here at all, this was a warts and all honest look IMVHO

I didn’t know about the fighting in Britain where he rubbed his American brashness in the Brits face. Wore a crown into the ring.

Also rented a bus, drove to Listons house at 1:00 am, leaned on the horn and woke him up. Liston comes out of his house enraged. Ali looks like he’s having the time of his life.

I’ll take you out in the 8th round but if you want to go to heaven I’ll take you out in 7. Lol

Didn’t see it in the doc, but one of my favorites goes something like…

Little did they know when they laid down their money, that they’d witness a total eclipse of the Sonny!
