Watch Champs For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Purely Joyful Movie!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I watched this on Amazon this weekend and felt incredibly compelled to write a review. There is so much negativity in the world today and it is so easy to get caught up in the negative. I often look for films to help me feel inspired and escape the negativity that surrounds us and this is one such film. These men overcome such immense struggles and it's truly motivational to me in my own life to witness their stories and eventual successes.

This film delivered on all fronts for me. I'm a huge fan of these legends, but I learned a lot about themselves and their careers through this film (Tyson and Holyfield in the Olympics - wow!). I also found it to be entertaining and exciting to watch. I find a lot of documentaries to be boring or slow, even these days when the content is supposed to be good, but this one was great to watch throughout.

Champs is a wonderful documentary that any boxing fan should watch. It concentrates on the side of the sport that we don't get to see. It tells us the struggle and the reasons why boxers become boxers. The lives of the Holyfields, Tysons, and other sporting legends who found in boxing a door to a better life. And how from the top, they fell down, to find themselves again on the wrong side of life, with barely the means to survive. Boxing is dying little by little. It has lost his soul. Champs is probably the last great documentary we will get to see about boxers that became icons; boxers that paralyzed the world with their punches. A must see, if you care about the noble art.

I'm not a sports fan, but for some reason I usually enjoy sports-related dramatic films and documentaries. I just saw this great documentary on boxing greats Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins- which examines their lives in and out of the ring. The film goes into the mentality that generally leads people in oppressed/impoverished groups to fight. As someone points out in the film- rich kids don't have to fight.I've seen multiple shows/movies/docs about Tyson, and this one explores his insecurities in a way I've not seen in the others so far. The film also interviews dozens of people involved in the sport in one way or another, including Ron Howard (who directed the boxing film "Cinderella Man"), Denzel Washington (who starred in the boxing biopic "The Hurricane"), and Will Smith (who played Cassius Clay AKA Muhammed in "Ali"), etc... First-rate boxing doc!- forgive me, but this film is a "knockout"! o.O O.o
