The Prizefighter and the Lady-oldschool boxing movie

[TBear]

This is a movie ad was for The Prizefighter and the Lady(1933) which featured the acting debuts of Max Baer and Primo Carnera. It also starred Jack Dempsey. All three fighters are in the opening scene. It featured a fake prize fight between Carnera and Baer. In real life Carnera was the champ at the time but a year after the movie was made, Baer Beat him to take the title. Could you imagine if they remade this movie today? Who would be the boxers they used?

Probably the closest thing to it in recent times was Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko in the ring to fight each other in "Oceans 11". Lewis did end up fighting Klitschko later in real life, but of course it was Vitali, not Wladimir.

Mayweather and Judah appeared in the music video for '100 rounds' by Raekwon back in 2000.

But at the time, Mayweather was a super-feather, and Judah was Champ at Light-Welter.

Carnera sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
