    Baldomir's story would be a great movie. It would go from him being a feather duster, to beating Judah.

        The Kassim Ouma Story would be a great movie. A child soldier to a World Champion Boxer.
        wasnt that Blood Diamond oh.......nm
        but yeah
        Yeah there is alot of reason to do boxing history into movies but did anyone remember ali??? that movie ****** ass i thought......but
        on a diff note Rocky Marciano movie where??? this should really be done, he is probably the most well known heavyweight champ outside of ali.

        Raging bull was bad freaking ass though and well the actor they used inthat for SRR would be good for SRR movie (might be too old now though)

                The one in bold print has been done: "The Great White Hope" with James Earl Jones as Jack Johnson.

                Clarification: James Earl Jones' fictional character was actually "Jack Jefferson", based on the life of Jack Johnson.

                      A Mike Tyson biopic is what I want to see. He had a decent TV movie, but it could be so much better.
