    I am in the process of creating a documentary film profiling a boxers career and life, and as a part of research to prepare for my pitch, I would like to request all of your help.

    If you could just inform me of whether you would be interested in watching some a film, if so why? Why not? What would you like to see in the documentary? What you wouldn't? Who you would be interested in seeing in the documentary?

    Any help you can give is much appreciated.

    Many thanks

    I'm gonna steal Bryn's answer again and say, 'who is the doc about'?

    If it is an old time fighter, by all means post, but you may get a better response in the classic. but fire away

    You've made a career off the back of stealing my questions and answers. :-(

    Are you asking what sort of documentary we would like or what the subject matter should be?

    A documentary about Johnny Greaves would be good. Showing the nature of the sport from the bottom up. I think he works as a plasterer by day but will fight at 24 hours notice pretty much anywhere in the country against some of the best prospects of the moment.

    He also showboats and tries to enjoy it makes it entertaining. Bit of a crazy lifestyle. But would make for interesting viewing.

    I would be interested on how small hall promoters make shows and also show 3 types of fighter a Journeyman pro a contender and a champ who all use the same gym just to see the difference in attitude and preparation

    I'm afraid as nothing is concrete yet, I can't disclose names.

    Nice feedback though, keep it coming. I shall look into Johnny Greaves
