Champions Forever : Heavyweights - (1989) (90min)

Champions Forever pitches Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Norton and of course Ali together one more time. We see each boxer making their boxing accendancy and giving insight into their fights against each other. Ali is the focus, and rightly so, and shows despite his condition that mentally he is a sharp as ever. Foreman as you expect is articulate and humble but it is Ken Norton's thought's that really stand out. Having never heard him speak before I found him insightful, with an earthly honesty about him, both in his respect for others and in his belief that he beat Ali in their third encounter. If you love boxing there is nothing like this documentary, shame about the soppy music Americans seem compelled to put in the background to point people to the sincerity of the fighters when interviewed singularly. It's there for all to see producers so let them get on with it !!!! (IMDB)

Champions Forever : The Latin Legends - (1997) (95min)

In life a man can be a hero, in the ring a legend..."The Latin Legends," hosted by Edward James Olmos, is an inspirational film about six of the greatest Latin boxers of our time. This film shows dazzling highlights from the spectacular careers of Roberto Duran, Julio Cesar Chavez, Alexis Arguello, Carlos Ortiz, Kid Gavilan and the late Salvador Sanchez. These true gladiators fought often and the many clips show their triumphs and occasional defeats. It is said that Latin men fight for God and country. These six men, who came from poverty, are seen as role models because they all stress the importance of hard work, clean living and respect for others. The story of struggle and triumph is an inspiration for the pursuit of our dreams. (Amazon)

A&E Biography - George Foreman (1hr) (2000)

Born January 10, 1949, Marshall, Texas, U.S. American boxer who twice was the world heavyweight champion (1973–74, 1994–95). When Foreman regained the heavyweight title at age 45, he was the oldest world heavyweight champion. Foreman grew up in Houston, Texas, and learned to box in a U.S. Job Corps camp in Oregon. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, he won the gold medal in the heavyweight boxing competition. The 6-foot 3-inch (1.9-metre), 218-pound (98.9-kg) Foreman first captured the professional heavyweight belt by knocking out Joe Frazier in two rounds at Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22, 1973. He had won all 40 of his professional bouts, including a sequence of 24 consecutive knockouts, when he fell to Muhammad Ali in eight rounds in the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Congo), on October 30, 1974. He retired from the ring in 1977 and became an evangelist. Foreman resumed professional boxing in 1987 at age 39 and found immediate success. Evidence later surfaced that Foreman's promoter, Bob Arum, had paid bribes to the International Boxing Federation (IBF) in order to manipulate the rankings and permit Foreman a chance at a title fight. Nevertheless, Foreman did very well when his chance at a title bout came. Despite his age and more than 30 additional pounds, Foreman remained a devastating puncher and captured the IBF and World Boxing Association (WBA) versions of the world heavyweight title by knocking out Michael Moorer in 10 rounds at Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 5, 1994. In March 1995 Foreman was stripped of his WBA title for refusing to fight their contender, and he resigned his IBF title in June 1995 rather than fight a rematch with IBF contender Axel Schultz. In 1997 Foreman retired from boxing again. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003. A colourful personality in the world of boxing, Foreman had great success as a television spokesperson for a number of products, including an eponymous home grill that was introduced in 1995; it earned him more money (and arguably more fame) than his boxing career.

History Undercover with Arthur Kent- 'Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling': The Real Story (1hr) (1/2001)

Hear from the German fighter who was cast as the face of the Third Reich in one of the most storied bouts in boxing history. In 1936, the German boxer Max Schmeling became the only man to ever knock out Joe Louis. Their 1938 rematch was cast as a symbolic war between the Free World and Nazism, and Louis won the bout decisively, knocking out Schmeling in one round. But despite the public perception that the two men were bitter enemies, they were in fact good friends.HISTORY UNDERCOVER strips away layers of misconception to tell the complete story of the two boxers whose reputations and careers were distorted by politics. In an interview from 1967, Schmeling talks about his experiences after the storied fight, which stand in stark contrast to Louis': while the German went on to become a successful businessman, Louis was kept from purchasing the New Jersey home he wanted because of his race. And when Louis died in poverty, Schmeling came to his family's aid. Few people have been so honored and then so abandoned as Joe Louis; few so wronged for so long as Max Schmeling.

In a time when his own people were still subject to lynchings, discrimination and oppression, when the military was segregated and African-Americans weren't permitted to play major league baseball, Joe Louis was the first African-American to achieve the kind of hero worship that was previously reserved for whites only. When he started boxing in the thirties, there were no African-Americans in positions of public prominence, none who commanded attention from whites.

ESPN Sports Century 50 Greatest Athletes #3- Muhammad Ali Biography (30min) (2001)

He boasted he was "The Greatest," and in the prime of his charismatic career, many agreed. But as brilliant as Muhammad Ali was in the ring, perhaps his true greatness was outside it, when he fought the United States government. His refusal to accept induction into the armed forces on religious grounds cost him millions and his heavyweight title. Vince Lombardi took a look at Ali's speed and power and thought one thing: "linebacker." but, in the end, Ali came up victorious in the most significant battle of his life. Sports is filled with showmen, and with great athletes, but perhaps never were they better combined than in the young man who began life as Cassius Clay and became a worldwide phenomenon as Muhammad Ali. The man who bragged about his ability to "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" went from being a curious oddity in the early 1960s to a national villain to an international hero. And now he reigns as one of the most beloved men on the planet.

He refused to serve in Vietnam--a professional fighter willing to serve time in jail for his pacifist ideals. He has contributed to countless, diverse charities and causes. And his later years have found him… More interested in world politics as he has battled to keep Parkinson's disease at bay.
