Muhammad Ali

Despite probably the most documented and talked about sportsman of all time, the series on BBC 2 is so watchable. The man ,the times etc. Greatest sportsman of all time?

Yes it's another fantastic Ken Bruce documentary. As always, well put together. I have watched his documentaries about the Vietnam war, and the Civil war, and even the one about Country and Western music, all brilliant

I've not watched it yet but will do. As for Ali being the greatest. Plenty of boxers themselves say exactly that. I think it's almost impossible to compare eras though. Would Ali have beaten peak Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Klitschko, Lewis or Fury? It's hard to say.

For greatest boxer it's hard not to pick Floyd Mayweather in my opinion. He fought everyone and remained unbeaten. Although the fight against Pacquiao happened three years too late.

Seen up part 4, “what’s my name’ wow that was good. I’m 60 so grew up with him as some kind of hero, turns out to be a little bit of a darker character in many ways, Malcolm X I never knew, fascinating series.

Absolutely fantastic documentary. If it hadn't been for that three years out....

Greatest sportsman of all time?

Without doubt. He transcended the sport and stood for so much more than just sporting excellence.
