    George Foreman

    Chris Eubank.

    And Carl Froch because he had a really really tough childhood.

    Do you think they will have the scene in his movie when the scumbag has his shepherd dog leap to it's death inorder to show how loyal it was to him.

    That dude is nowhere near the angel his is portrayed to be.

    Most boxers are not, they often come from broken homes, have shaddy backgrounds and have many demons. In his early years as champion was indeed egotistical and even sadistic. That doesn't take away from the fact he destroyed a prime Joe Frazier, lost the title to the best heavyweight that ever lived, and managed to win it back at the age of 45.

    His story was practically made for the silver screen.

    Ketchel seemed like a crazy guy from what i've read. There would have to be quite a bit of artistic license though!

    Tyson would sell tickets. Hopkins is also a great story on how one can turn his life around and defy the odds. Now RJJ would be a great story on ones downfall.
