    Boxing movies with boxers

    What is it with the UFC making all these damn movies? They are making it look like MMA is a gimick like wrestling. Not only that but they use the same actors/fighters for every single movie,. Why don't boxers do movies about boxing?

        James Toney played Joe Frazier in Ali. There are many great boxing movies, and I love Rocky Marciano with Jon Favreau. He got buff for that one

          I thought Ali ******, Will Smith is too soft to play Ali. "The Greatest" with Ali starring as himself was better.
