Raging Bull, Rocky (I) and Cinderella Man are all great. Nobody mentioning Ali (with Will Smith) and The Hurricane (with Denzel), both fantastic movies.
I agree about it being a very solid boxing film, certainly miles ahead of Bleed For This and Hands of Stone. I was really surprised. I don't know why it doesn't get more praise.
I would love to see a Southpaw 2. I think there is more to be done with the Billy Hope character.
