    Whilst I like million dollar baby I struck it from my list because it's more like ufc than boxing it's just ridiculous what that german boxer gets away with and not realistic at all.
    To the point where it's insulting to any boxing fans intelligence so it cant be on any of my boxing movie lists.

    Well it's a called a movie for a reason. It's a dramtisation of the sport we all know and love. Rocky isn't realistic at all but it still captures the sport in the light it's rightly deserved to be in.

    The thing that I like about the "Million dollar baby" is that it shows how the charachters around the lead change during her rise to fame. First nobody gives a flying **** about her then all suddenly the want everything to do with her just because she got money.

    I like but not my favourite The kid from Brooklyn quite amusing. Champion just because Douglas looks like a maniac.

    The best boxing movie ever is "The Set-Up", starring Robert Ryan.

    The plot from wiki:

    Stoker Thompson (Robert Ryan) is a 35-year-old has-been boxer. Tiny (George Tobias), Stoker's manager, is sure he will continue to lose fights, so he takes money for a "dive" from a mobster, but is so sure that Thompson will lose that he doesn't tell the boxer about the set-up...
