I think a few good ones would be....

Harry Greb (Played by an unknown, noone is ugly enough)
Stanley Ketchel (See above)
Bendigo (VInny Jones)

Ali, James Corbett, Jake LaMotta, Joe Louis and Max Schmeling.....we have seen films made about these guys. Now in production apparently is a film about James Braddock starring Russell Crowe.

What other boxers throughout history should have a movie made about them? Who should get to play them?

Its kinda hard to make a movie on a boxer considering not all boxer careers have been exciting. They need to make movies on boxers with a unique character which would actually grab the attention from people. For eg. Ali was intimidating, funny, great boxer, and his career was all over the place. You dont get many of those boxers so makin a movie on a boxer would be challenging. But IF i could pick what boxer they should make a movie on, Id say Naseem Hamed, but not now, like 20 years later.
Mike tyson maybe?

There is a HBO movie about Mike tyson it's not bad, the guy from Spawn plays iron mike, he's got the voice down and everything...thre's even a guy in it playing Teddy Atlas but because he's an actor he speaks much better - there's no " Dat beard iz a cushion!"

I know HBO made a movie about Tyson but I think one should be about him again only this time have it be a major motion picture.

I also think a movie about Evander Holyfield would be good as well.

a major motion pic about Tyson would have to show Teethson vs. Holyear

Yeah he sure did, and he did a pretty good job. Looking at him from behind when he was in the ring, you could not tell the differnece between him and the real Tyson
