Boxing Movies That Should Get Made

[porlie]

I think a movie about the Mayweather family would be a good movie. Theyve all boxed Roger and Floyd jnr being champions Jeff and Floyd snr contenders.
All the stuff thats happened out of the ring to them all would make for a great movie.
A ***********al family that are characters in their own right theyd definitley be good movie material.

Rocky VII. Just kidding.

I'd like to see the story of Joe Louis against Max Schmeling. That could be simply outstanding.

As one poster has already mentioned there is already a film dedicated to this story- Joe and Max.
Max Schmelling comes across well in it, he was a very reluctant representative of **** germany.

Rocky VII. Just kidding.

Rocky VII- Loaded Gunn.
The story of a promiscous great white hope who whooped HIV.

Joe Frazier is the REAL Rocky Balboa.

Even fights kinda like him but with far better skills than Balboa.

JOHNNY TAPIA. everyone elses story is tame in comparison to Mi Vida Loca.

lots of love for my israeli and *** brethren, but to do a story about salita was lame and totally premature. it debuted not too far from me a couple weeks ago here in silver spring, MD - heard it was a bore from a buddy of mine who works next door to AFI.

yea I didn't understand it either, but I guess there was money to be made

As one poster has already mentioned there is already a film dedicated to this story- Joe and Max.
Max Schmelling comes across well in it, he was a very reluctant representative of **** germany.

"In 1938, during the Kristallnacht, Schmeling hid two teenage sons of a ***ish friend in his Berlin hotel room, protecting them from the SS and Gestapo at great risk to himself. The two boys, Henry and Werner Lewin, were eventually smuggled out of Germany with Schmeling's help."

Bobby Chacon story would make a great movie. Family deaths, and amazing fights.

JOHNNY TAPIA. everyone elses story is tame in comparison to Mi Vida Loca.

That's mostly from his own path he chose to take. I agree it's been a roller coaster, but he practically had control of his destiny while others were blown about like leaves in the wind.

I'm a terrible poet, BTW.
