All great movies right there.I would say Rocky 4 is my all time favorite but theres a movie that
came out in the early 90's with James Woods and Louis Gossett Jr called "Diggstown", that's another favorite that's worth a go if you guys haven't seen it.

Raging Bull awesome, and then the Rocky movies in the modern era and for a sequence of films, the six true Rocky movies (not including Creed), are part of movie history.

It’s actually hard finding a boxer whose life shouldn’t be made into a movie. Like throwing darts in a dartboard factory. There are hits everywhere.

I must admit frankly, I do not like movies about boxing as all of them that I've seen contain unreal fighting scenes.

Maybe the bulk of boxing movies but the fight scenes in Raging Bull were filmed incredibly. Scorsese spent a lot of time watching the footage of LaMotta's bouts with Robinson and replicated it on the silver screen to a tee. No idea what you're talking about if you're including Raging Bull. That movie was an absolutely classic.

Actually, I've seen it and this is the closest one to reality, true. I did not like the ropes scene.
I was generally talking about Rocky type movies where fighters get incredible number of heavy punches into their chins and nothing wrong happens with them while in reality one or two such clean punches would put a fighter to sleep immediately.

Teen Wolf 2

Does anybody remember a film called hard times? It's an older film, I've never seen it but it's supposed to be a fantastic fighting film, it may be about bare knuckle.

Great Charles Bronson flick. One of my favorite “guy” films.

I think Southpaw I had the best, most realistic boxing scenes I’ve ever seen.
