The history of the Four Kings is told well, by many great minds in the history of boxing. I don't understand why they decided to make it so heavy on Ronald Reagan cameos though.
It feels like Showtime had 40 minutes of footage for a scrapped Reagan documentary, and instead of binning it they decided to add it to a boxing documentary. The political stuff doesn't tie in much with the fighters' careers at all, so it is a puzzling inclusion for sure.
Despite these complaints, the boxing history and production quality make this series worth a watch for any boxing fan.
