View Full Version : Favorite Boxing Movies
BoxingPromoter 12-21-2004, 03:05 PM My Favorites include:
1)Rocky IV-Has a Cold War theme and Ivan Drago is a great character
2)Digstown- What a premise, a fighter fights 8 different fighters in one day. Didn't George Foreman do something like that?
3)Raging Bull
What are your favs?

It's not the best, but my favorite boxing movie is hands down "The Great White Hype". Hilarious. Classic even.
Marjoh 12-21-2004, 04:34 PM Theres a new boxing movie out called Million dollar baby anybody seen it?
Yeah, I want to see that movie, too. Not just for the fact that it's a boxing flix (I'm not really a fan of women boxing), but a Clin Eastwood flix. I heard it may even be better than his last film, Mystic River.

In the documentary "George Foreman,Beyond the Glory" it talks about how Foreman fought 3, maybe 5 guys in one day. But when I checked this out on boxrec.com it had no record of these fights. Does any of you Foreman fans know why?

BoxingPromoter 12-21-2004, 05:59 PM Probaly because it was before he went Pro?
I think after his loss to Ali, he wanted to prove that he was still a knockout machine. But I have no idea why its not on his official record. Come on Foreman fans, enlighten us! :)
reebox8225 12-21-2004, 06:11 PM The hurricane, Rocky 2.
scramwarrior 12-21-2004, 07:35 PM 1) Rocky- This is not only the greatest boxing movie but also one of the best movies made period. Great story about life, love, and retribution.
2) Raging Bull- Hard to beat this one.
3) Rocky II- One of the best sequels you could make.
4) Tyson- This HBO movie provides a great insight to the beginning of the end of the great heavyweight champion, Iron Mike Tyson.
5) Play It To The Bone- Combines humur with great acting as Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson play the parts perfectly.
davej1006 12-21-2004, 08:42 PM Raging Bull, best of all time. They did the La Motta v SRR fights pretty well.
