Which Boxer Should Have a Film Made About them?

Barney Ross.

The war scene would be epic.

kassim ouma

I haven't even heard of that, never mind watched it. Is it any good? 2008 as well.

Not really.

Dead average but still a decent watch for a Boxing fan.

I got it from Poundland.

Ross fought on his own to keep 3 soldiers he was with safe in a small crater, fired 200 round off and threw 22 grenades at the Japanese, 2 of the soldiers died and Ross carried the last one too safety while he himself had a wounded arm and leg, add too that the rest of his Army time, him being abandoned by his Mom after his Dad died and living on his own as a thug from age 12 (?) too then working for Al Capone, following him through his drug addiction and recovery and obviously his boxing career.

No matter how sad and dramatic Ouma's life was I'd much rather watch a film on Ross.

Some other good ones IMO :

Johnny Tapia
Arturo Gatti
Robinson
Tyson
Arguello

And the fact he overcame his drug addiction and gave lectures at universities about the dangers of drugs, if I recall correctly.

George Chuvalo is another for a movie.

Barney Ross.

This is the one I want to see made the most. Ross' life is fascinating, loved the biography by Douglas Century. I know there is the movie "Monkey on my back", which I have not seen, but an updated movie would be great.

I was just reading about Joe Gans' story earlier. I think he'd be a great choice.
