Create A Movie For A Fighter Thread!

Interesting thread:good. The fighter i would most like to see in a film would be Joe Louis. One of the greatest heavyweights of all time and he had an incredible story. Almost single-handidly lifted the colour bar on the heavyweight championship and in sports in general. His life story would make a great movie. Fights that i would like to see in it would be would be both his ones with Schmeling, Conn, Braddock and his final fight with Marciano. Plus a montage of his kos in the bum of the month club:yep

 

jesus mandana you can't half think of em, i go gatti, his fights with ward, though i know f-ckall about it but his personal life was probably like his fights, so good footage that would make, imight call it thunder, and robert dinero would have been the man, if they could knock a ruck of years of him.

 

Bernard Hopkins has enough of a story in it, rough upbringing, the prison on to become a future HOF its a the sorta rags to riches thing that'd make Hollywood producers smile if it werent for the botox.

Sensitively a Michael Watson film if done very carefully could be an extraordinary film. His autobiography is fantastic and would be a great guideline for the script of a film that would show the mans incredible story to more people and how well the sport has learned from the ragic errors of the past.

Tired will return tomorrow with the extra details this good thread deserves rather than spurting ****. Should kick on nicely this 1

 

I'd really like a Danny Williams movie. There's not too many british actors with anything resembling his physique though.

And that Hopkins moment is absolutely beautiful. You can see in his eyes he's not focusing on a damn thing except who he's looking at and what he has to say with his eyes. Brilliant.

 

danny williams has a strong look of the mr t acter i think he could play him good without the mohican hairstyle that is.:good

 

"The Magic Matt Story" with the guys out of the Proclaimers playing the Hatton brothers and Pat from EastEnders as the Mum.

 

Ricky Hatton

How he left his promoter to further his career,

Focus on how he destroyed himself with coke after his Floyd/Pacman defeats before eventually getting found out

Rocky like montage of him getting his life back together

End- beats Khan to become WBA light welter weight champion and retires in the ring

 

The Riddick Bowe Story starring Ice Cube.

The road to riches then to the gutter.

The poster has the twat from the Holyfield scrap

Gatti's would have the best ending - gets drunk, beats his wife in public, gets stoned by disgusted witnesses, then goes & hangs himself with her handbag.

 

Has that ever been properly explained?

Truly one of the most bizarre moments in boxing history.

 

fighter and Why: Edwin Valero and his unravelling mental state, culminating in a tragic ending. A physcholigical thriller from the start.

Name of Film: Lights out

Actors: Valero (Jay Hernandez) Girlfriend (Jessica Alba) Valero's trainer (Antonio Banderas!) Valero's dad (Al Pacino)

With the tragic ending coming before having a call to as being in line to face Pacman.
