Rocky 1 is still a very good story even though the boxing choreography is horrible (as almost all fightscenes are, especially boxing).
The best film of the boxing genre would be Raging Bull by far. It's one of my 3 favorite movies of all time and Scorseses second best.
But oh well. Bottom line is Stallone is not competing with fighters for his spot. So everyone (not sure who in this thread, but it always get brought up) claiming "well if Stallone got in..." should just drop it.

Scorsese's Top 5:
1. Raging Bull
2. Goodfellas
3. The Departed
4. Casino
5. Taxi Driver

Goodfellas #1, Raging Bull #2 and remove the departed from the list and i agree. Possibly put mean streets in but I'm not sure.
This is offtopic though. Sorry for that boys.

Wins over Martinez, Winky, Lara[controversially], Margarito, Quintana, Cintron.
Okay wins against Ishida, Mitchell, Walter Matthysse.
If i'm not mistaken he's a 2 time champion at WW, interim champion at 154 if you want to count that, and at one point was calling every one out from 147-160 and was willing to fight them at their weight class.
As a big fan, I would say he's borderline HOF. I think Williams at age 30 was not done, and I think he would have ended up adding Canelo and 3-4 other names on his resume and have a sure HOF resume. Being a borderline HOF'er at age 30, you were pretty damn good then.

Since you're here crold, i may as well ask.
Most posters seem to think Froch is a lock for getting in to the hall of fame. Do you agree?
( i don't think he's there yet, but lots of posters i really respect do, which is why i question my own stance on it)
