The Playlist -
Tracking the rise of each fighter, Champs underscores the incredible skill, talent and fortitude each had on their way to the top, however it never shies away from pointing out the systemic failures that let them down.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Bert Marcus offers more sociology than boxing fans may expect, using mean-streets origin stories not just for biographical intrigue but to comment on hardships his subjects faced later in life.

The A.V. Club -
As a documentary, Champs feels a bit punch-drunk — weaving from one idea to the next while never quite zoning in on any particular target for too long.

Movie Nation -
The sport is surveyed and discussed as the historic route of the underclasses to change their station in life.

New York Daily News -
