    I would like to see an era movie. Like about the fab 4 Hearns,Hagler,Duran,Leonard in the 1980's. Something about eras and stories of the time. About one fighter is ok, but then they change the story and put fabrications in and it isn't even the same biography. They might do that with the fab 4, but at least there is enough info there that more stuff would not be necessary to make the story more interesting.

    Monzon would be a good one and if I had the power to make a film it would be about him.

    A film about Valero would be great, watching him slip into alcohol and drug addiction to murderer would make for an award winning film.

    I always liked the idea of a Jack Dempsey film.

    Prine Naseem Hamed; but I don't think there is anyone in Holywood with a big enough ego to really capture his character properly. (Maybe Charlie Sheen?)

    Ya -- let's portray boxing as a sport for insane murderous thugs. That's a brilliant idea:patsch

    ...I'm surprised a movie about Douglas vs Tyson hasn't been done before.

    That event was shown extensively in both the Tyson and Don King biography films. Maybe you want a Douglas biography?

    A movie? This has more of a "lord of the rings trilogy" type feel. They tried making A movie about Ghengis Khan but...

    That could be a pretty good movie with a very sad ending. Unless Hollywood bumps in and makes it a romatic **** movie where the hero gets the girl and the bad guy is defeated
