I'll start...

I've always wanted to do one of two ideas...

HAWK
Tha Aaron Pryor Story

Dont know who'd I'de want to play the Hawk though. Any ideas?

OR

SUGAR
The Sugar Ray Robinson Story

w/Terrence Howard as Ray. I heard he was doing a Joe Louis movie...but why? He looks just like SRR. SRR story is much better than Joe's.

Marvin Hagler maligned for much of his career. an all time great that was robbed at the end! Leonard waited like a vulture until he smelled blood before agreeing to the fight . if the fight had happened as originally planed, hagler would not have been as old and slow as he was. leonard knew he couldn't handle a prime hagler!

HOPKINS's life is MADE for movies and i hear they are making one.

As is MICKEY WARDS, which another movie is being made for, as its ARTURO GATTIS.

Apparenlty they are making,

"The Audley Harisson Story"

Its the story of how a 34 year old man managed to con the BBC out of 1 million pounds by claiming he was a boxer.

Directed by Spike lee, With Denzel Washington as audley,

I heard denzel had to spend hours in make up to look like harrison,

Mainly because most of the time was spent on recreating harisson's glass jaw.

Cuba Gooding jr would be good at playing Joe Louis,

i think a Movie should be made about Diego Corrales

**W1LL** · 07-04-2007, 01:58 PM

A movie based on the life and times of Roberto Duran would be good.

" Running for Dollars"

The Tag Line.. He Built his Future beating Up on the past..Then Made a Dash for the cash...

NO it's NOT a game show..It's the LIFE story of Floyd Mayweather..

The Kassim Ouma Story would be a great movie. A child soldier to a World Champion Boxer.

The Frank Bruno story- played by Frankie Dettori
The Butterbean story - played by Ricky Hatton when he's not in training
The Prince Naz story- beginning with barrera fight and ending with him as a fat convict, co-starring Vinght Rahmes and The Big Guy From Green Mile as his angry gay cellmates.
