Which boxer's life would make the best movie?

[Yusuf T.]

A Hector Camacho movie would be hilarious. Anytime I need a laugh, I throw in a tape of a Camacho interview or press conference. Works every time....

Listons would be cool. Also - Johnson, Dempsey, Louis.

They were suppose to do a Liston one, but it got canceled. Ving Rhames was supposed to star as Sonny Liston, but when it got canceled he went ahead to do the movie "Undisputed" (which is supposedly loosely based on Mike Tyson) with Wesley Snipes since he was already in boxing shape after training for the Liston movie. I heard talk of there being a Bernard Hopkins movie, i'm not the biggest B-Hop fan, but I think his story would make a good movie. I think any Tyson movie at this point would be a bit of a disappointment (atleast to hardcore fans) much like any Ali movie that would come out because there was so much that happened in their lives that a 2 hour movie couldn't possibly touch on everything that we would all want to see. Although I did like the talk of Jamie Fox possibly playing the role. I used to think it would be far fetched, but Jamie has been bulking up a bit as of late, and he does Mike's voice pretty good. I do think a George Foreman movie is a bit overdue, should have been made already imo. Also, with the following that Floyd Mayweather has from the 24/7 shows, maybe a movie about his life might catch some interest.

Buster Douglas

Mike Tyson! It was a no-brainer for me.

Buster Douglas

Agreed. I can certainly see a Cinderella Man type of movie being made about Buster at some point. I'm surprised that it hasn't already been made.

Second that. Just make sure the movie ends in Tokyo though.

i know a few folks on here have discussed 'Tucan' McGinty on here before with me, but i really reckon his film would be cool, because of the history that goes with it. If you don't know, he was one of the first white fighters to accept black opponents - much to alot of peoples distain.

So... i reckon that would be a pretty cool film. Probs with a good message too. He was **** hot aswell apparently.
