I like the Baer, was a good fighter in his day with a mean right hand.

That's a good link Kid. I know that Baer's family were very unhappy with how Max was portrayed in the movie Cinderella Man and the site appears to be aimed at setting the record straight as opposed to making money by peddling merchandise (The Max Baer Grill?....nah).

In any event a good read for those who want some more insight to Baer as a fighter and man and a rarity for an apparent profit free website, several rounds of free downloads.

Did you know Baer's grandfather was named Achille?

Is that Sabbath in his avatar?

And on the subject of Baer, I didn't like the way Cinderella man portrayed him, but like someone said on a different thread, it was just really to have a good vs. evil theme in the film, which Hollywood loves.

Yeah that's me doing my best black and white old school boxer impression.

You're right about the Hollywood good vs evil theme which has always been a constant in damn near every boxing movie although I liked how "Rocky Balboa" broke the mold and portrayed Mason Dixon as a likeable and decent guy as opposed to Ivan Drago and Clubber Lang. The movie still ****** a bit though.

Damn your big lol.

I liked Rocky Balboa, and your right about Dixon being the only really likeable Rocky opponent apart from Creed. (who only became likeable in number 3)

Actually, come to think of it Creed was actually likeable in the first 2 Rocky's. I got the impression his flash and arrogance was all about showmanship. He was obviously molded on Ali as Rocky was on Wepner. Maybe having Mason Dixon being likeable was an attempt by Stallone to capture some of what the first movie had with the additional recurring theme of Rocky still being a winner despite losing the fight.
