    Thankfully a few have mentioned it, but I believe Somebody up there, likes me sometimes does not get the credit it deserves.

    Raging Bull is excellent, but has become a bit cliche. And although poetic licence is always going to be used, perhaps Raging Bull overstepped the mark.

    I believe the best fictional boxing linked story was Rocky.

    Best documentary; When we were Kings.

    it's been mentioned already, but this is mine....requim for a heavyweight
    look at this for an opening scene, and consider the year it was made and how forward-thinking it was to have that first-person view, not to mention the line-up at the bar...how many can you name ??

    also, i have tried to get one of the mountain riveria v cassius clay posters for years....no luck....i'd love one in our hall framed.

    Greetings Doug. I can name most of the boxers at the bar. Willie Pep, Gus Lesnevich, Steve Belloise, Alex Miteff, Barney Ross, and I believe Willie Troy MW of that time...
