Boxers They Should Make a Movie About.....

i'd like to see films made about Ketchel and Greb, they both had tragic lives, came up from the bottom, fought hard, died young

I wouldn't be suprised if, in a few years, after he retires, they make a movie about De La Hoya. The issues with his father, his Grammy, and his sexy woman would make it a "life outside the ring"-type movie. PLus, who knows whats to come in the next few years with him. Imagine what will happen to the guy when he starts losing all the time, and loses all his fans...

Emile Griffith They Just Finished A Documentry On Emile What A Story !!!!

A movie about Rocky Marciano would be hugely entertaining because he was such an eccentric guy.

Jack dempsey and Sonny Liston The movie about Jack Dempsey, called, "Dempsey" creatively enough, sucked. I was hugely disappointed to see the half-assed, low budget schlock they turned out, and even more distressed at seeing Treat fucking Williams play the Mauler.

Ali, James Corbett, Jake LaMotta, Joe Louis and Max Schmeling.....we have seen films made about these guys. Now in production apparently is a film about James Braddock starring Russell Crowe. What other boxers throughout history should have a movie made about them? Who should get to play them? Frankie Duarte. I know someone else here will remember him. He was a bantamweight during the eighties who fought his heart out every time out. He loved the fans, and that was it. Unfortunately, he became as addicted to heroin as he was to the crowd's love. He took a break for about three years, came back better than ever. He capped off his comeback run with a win over Alberto Davila, who had stopped him in five previous to his layoff. Although he ended up with a spotty record, he deserves a lot more respect than he has, and deserves a feature film as much as any other boxer.

does anyone know if the Tyson thing HBO did is available? like on video or something. what's it called? thanks advanced Its called "Tyson" and it is avaliable online, I think?, on hbo.com. I'm sure you could get it on Amazon.com as well.

How about the woman beater Diego Corrales.... no offense to your Chico lovers, I think he's a good fighter too..

On FNF earlier this year, he said they were in the process of doing that. He said it was supposed to come out early next year. The worst boxing movie was "Between The Ropes", about James Toney. that movie just took the idea of a woman manager and turned it into a movie. It really had no truth to it. not a biography at all. A true Toney movie would be excellent.

AARON PRYOR! The man was a delinquent who got out of trouble with the help of boxing. He used to fight in Europe as a teen amateur, his family didn't even know he was gone. He overcame the odds as a pro, overcame crack, and is now a successful minister. What a movie that would make!

Damn....nobody named SAAD MUHAMMAD ? He was abandoned at the age of five, on the Bejamin Franklin Parway in Philly, by an older sibling. The sibling was acting on orders from the parent(s). He was raised in an orphanage, run by nuns. They only knew him as "Matt", & gave him the last name "Franklin" because of where he was found. He went on to become quite possibly the most exciting fighter in boxing history.

i think they are already, and i don't know if anyone mentioned it but Johnny Tapia. that guy's life was seriously F'D up!! would make a great movie...

They should make a movie about George Foreman. This is a guy coming from Houston, TX who was a juvenile delinquent who saw a commercial for Job Corps, got an education, became an Olympic Gold Medalist for the USA, won the heavyweight championship. He retired for 10 years and against all odds became heavyweight champ again at 45. I would say Ving Raimes would have to play him. Another vote would be for Mike Tyson, although I believe there was an HBO movie that came out when I was 5 or something.

John Ruiz. And the title must be THE HUGMAN!!! :D:D:D i think they already made a Ruiz movie..I believe it was called Heaven's Gate :D

Jack dempsey and Sonny Liston

i think they are already, and i don't know if anyone mentioned it but Johnny Tapia. that guy's life was seriously F'D up!! would make a great movie...

The stories of Roy Jones Jr., Hopkins & DLH would interest me!!!

A Roberto Duran or Marvin Hagler movie would be good. Both could be a good one?
