nice try ***head but ali was the most famous fighter ever....hurricane is only a movie cuz he went to jail....im talking a regular ass boxer movie....by hollywood...oh wow micky wards brother chose to do drugs and his brother was a tough heart espn fighter....heres a oscar.......

Ali's and Louis' life stories are interesting. All the shit they had to go through to achieve what they achieved. If you watch the movie's it's not all about boxing. It's about all the shit they went through outside of the ring.

no black male grows up with a "normal" life....ur definitely "white priviliged"

And you obviously use the outdated "oppressed black man" image to your advantage.

Why have a movie about black fighters when we have classics like Pootie Tang and Im gonna get you sucka and who could ever forget CB4 no wat i sayiin

[SirTomJones]

u kidding me? white suburb people would pay to see roy doin' his extra curricular activities. ****** hoops and dirty south ****fighting yo ****'s inspirational.

The film ends ith this

[Mikhnienko]

im tired of this **** man....all these bum white fighters rocky cindarella man now mickey ward get movies....but the legends dont....no sugar ray movie no roy jones movie no joe louis movie no....but ****in micky ward the toughman contest winner himself....*** that.....

Robinson? I don't think moviegoers want to watch a boxer beat his wife so often and badly that he causes her to have 5 miscarrages. Go watch s snuff film or somthing if thats your thing.

mickey's story goes beyond boxing, remember, or you might be too young to remember, but his brother ****ie was a crackhead, former crackhead, and was on one of the first HBO documentaries about drugs and downtrodden life.

****ie had a small bit of fame about him ,regionally, and the interests followed from there. but it wasn't until mickey started having a in your face career and people started remembering his brother ****ie when mickey was getting noticed. then to train mickey and his roller coaster ride of a career, the two together had a hollywood type story.

i'm not saying others shouldn't have a movie and that this is the best story, but it's a story of triumph from a mid-low class of blue collar worker to raise above all the crap and distractions to come out of boxing unharmed and better for it from going through the battles and struggles of boxing and a hard life.


it's worthy, and it's a motivational type moving, that is why it got the green light to be made...............

sad to say, but mickey ward a lot of people, no matter what color they are, can relate to this story, thats why it was made..............


and for the record, i HATE AND HATED CHUCK WEPNER, but Rocky movies were awesome........

Funny thing is the Gatti fights are not even going to be in this movie, it's his career before that. To be honest his life and brother's troubles make for a compelling story for a hollywood movie.

How can you make a Micky Ward biopic without the Gatti fights? His career and life's story, to a large extent, are defined by those fights...
