Jersey Joe Walcott claiming Heavyweight Title at fourth attempt. His extraodinary tale of 'perseverence' to win Title at 37 would be great to watch as a movie. One of my favourite fighters! You'd be guaranteed laughs and plenty of action packed drama if a movie or documentary was made of James Lights Out Toney's life and career! Toney's Boxing's equivalent of the A Team's Mr T!

Which boxer's life would make the best movie?

"Hands of Stone"
Growing up on the mean streets of Panama City, the story of Roberto Durán - not unlike that of Mike Tyson - would make a compelling, if not best movie. I'd cast John Leguizamo in the title roll.

George Foreman movie would be a FANTASTIC movie. Seriously, imagine.
George supposedly grew up on a farm..thats a fun scenario for movies...then he sparred with Liston, they could throw some of his story into it...then he wins Olympic gold, then of course his boxing career and him destroying people and then losing to Ali. then he faints and has that Talk with God he said happened, which would be good for a movie. then he becomes a born again Christian. then they show him training children and all that. then, of course, his comeback upset of becoming the oldest heavyweight champion of all time.
It has multiple scenarios, supernatural events, character developement, dramatic events, well known characters...dont need to add in anything in, it would be perfect to make a movie out of
and the REAL best part? non-boxing fans would recongnise 'that man with the grills' and go to see that movie.
Everyone loves the George Foreman grills! theyre more famous than his boxing career!
seriously, it would make millions
