    in the past pref ,i know the gomez film has been geting made for about the last 5 years .

    I think Henry Cooper,given his fight against Ali .But Bruno could be good,gven his multiple attempts at world title shots ,mental health and facing tyson twice.that could be intresting

    going back a while ,Benny Lynch's would also be a good read ...

    Lynch is a great call.

    Randy Turpin would be another.

    Turpin was a bit of a bugger by all accounts...

    One of the guys from the "fighting booths" era. Recent times Scott Harrison and world wide Mathew Saad Muhammed.

    And I'm crying out for a move, a docu... anything to be made on Benn, Eubank and Watson.

    Ken Bs would make a good one, both in the ring and after he retired.

    Really? Never heard that. Although I don't know much about Turpin beyond the obvious.

    He had a "reputation" around Leamington for throwing his weight around and was arrested a few times for hitting his various girlfriends. One incident got quite messy as he was accused (and charged) of hitting an American woman while he was in NY for the Robinson fight.
