    Which Boxer Should Have a Film Made About them?

    For me, the top three are Stanley Ketchel, Jack Johnson & Henry Armstrong.

    Tom Hardy could do a decent Stan.

    Idris Elba could be Jack.

    Not sure about Hammering Hank though.

        Sonny Liston.
        Harold Johnson.
        No doubt about it.

          I could definitely see a Pac man movie being made eventually.

              Did you know I would reply to this or something?

              But they've already made one on Sonny. It's called Phantom Punch and he's played by Ving Rhames.

                Kassim Ouma with Derek Luke as Ouma. I know there's a Kassim The Dream documentary but a screen play on his life would be powerful.


                That movie would have some great scenes and you could follow it all the way up to when he became world champion by defeating Verno Phillips.

                  I haven't even heard of that, never mind watched it. Is it any good? 2008 as well.
