Best boxing movie you've ever seen ?

Ali. I loved how accurate it was. They didnt try to create a fictitious Ali. They showed his flaws, and triumphs. I thought it was really good and covered everything from his fights to his religion. It was nice to see.

 

Rocky : I like the part where Stallone train with Floyd : I got chicken.

 

Raging Bull, Rocky/Rocky II

 

Cinderella Man is my personal favorite.

 

No one going to pick gladiator

White boy from rich neighbourhood tossed into the ghetto because he pops has gambling issues

Meets super hot chick, becomes best friends with local Mexican boxer

Cuba gooding jnr was excellent in it

Great, great movie

 

The Great White Hope (Jack Johnson)
Hard Times (Bronson bare knuckle brawling)
Fat City (Stacy keach & Jeff Bridges)
The Set-Up (realistic boxing - shot in reverse; filmed like in real-time)


Not a film as such, but the factually accurate documentary, The Hurricane, as dramatised by Denzil Washington as Rubin Carter, was a good watch.

 

Yeah that was pretty good

 

Another honorabl mention to Snatch: underground off-license boxing in UK, featuring Brad Pitt as a Pikey.

 

Wouldn't say its a boxing movie but a classic none the less :good

 

Cinderella Man for sure.

 

rocky is a great movie
shame its tainted by the picture-postcard (and unashamed) Hollywood icon stallone became, but it's a stand alone movie regardless

 

Rocky II. Best part: Scene at hospital

Adrien: "There's something I want you to do for me"
Rocky: "what?"
Adrien: "Win Rocky win"

and all hell breaks loose and I was in a boxing gym the day after

 

Yeah that was a good movie, might have to pull this one out and watch it again.

 

Yet in Rocky 4 before he faces Drago

"It's suicide you can't win"

I don't know how he stayed with her
