Boxers They Should Make a Movie About.....

[Silencer]

The stories of Roy Jones Jr., Hopkins & DLH would interest me!!!

[deuce_drop]

i think they are already, and i don't know if anyone mentioned it but Johnny Tapia. that guy's life was seriously F'D up!! would make a great movie...

[lsk]

Jack dempsey and Sonny Liston

John Ruiz. And the title must be THE HUGMAN!!!

i think they already made a Ruiz movie..I believe it was called Heaven's Gate

[Mr. Ryan]

They should make a movie about George Foreman. This is a guy coming from Houston, TX who was a juvenile delinquent who saw a commercial for Job Corps, got an education, became an Olympic Gold Medalist for the USA, won the heavyweight championship. He retired for 10 years and against all odds became heavyweight champ again at 45. I would say Ving Raimes would have to play him. Another vote would be for Mike Tyson, although I believe there was an HBO movie that came out when I was 5 or something.

On FNF earlier this year, he said they were in the process of doing that. He said it was supposed to come out early next year. The worst boxing movie was "Between The Ropes", about James Toney.

Damn....nobody named SAAD MUHAMMAD ?

He was abandoned at the age of five, on the Bejamin Franklin Parway in Philly, by an older sibling. The sibling was acting on orders from the parent(s).
He was raised in an orphanage, run by nuns. They only knew him as "Matt", & gave him the last name "Franklin" because of where he was found.

He went on to become quite possibly the most exciting fighter in boxing history.

AARON PRYOR! The man was a delinquent who got out of trouble with the help of boxing. He used to fight in Europe as a teen amateur, his family didn't even know he was gone. He overcame the odds as a pro, overcame crack, and is now a successful minister. What a movie that would make!

that movie just took the idea of a woman manager and turned it into a movie. It really had no truth to it. not a biography at all.

A true Toney movie would be excellent.

How about the woman beater Diego Corrales....
no offense to your Chico lovers, I think he's a good fighter too..
