    Ever read his book, "Mi Vida Loca?" Scriptwriters couldn't draft that life.

    Have not man i know about Tapia's life but never read the book. They dont sell it down my ways. I dont do internet deals. Heard its a great book tho.

    Somebody should post some transcripts :hey Na j/k

    So Matt Damons going to play Mickey Ward? I dont see the resemblence myself, but at least he's a half decent actor :good

    I'd love to see a film on Chris Eubank.

    waitaminute its mark wahlberg whos playin mickey ward

    Marciano...all there has been is a made for tv movie...i'm tired of seeing his toughness slandered today by those saying he is too small....its irrelevant, he aint fighting now, he fought then and he dominated. end of story.

    Joe Louis, why even bother with an explanation. of course there should be a film of his life.

    Marvin Hagler, that would be an awesome movie, all the times he got screwed in the ring, and such..The ending would suck though...moving to italy or w/e lol

    No. For god sakes. It has Matt Damnon ad Ward, and Mark Wahlberg as Dickie Ecklund. ITs definitley going to the big screen.

    A movie about Sugar Ray Robinson could rival Raging Bull. Sugar Ray was just as violatile as LaMotta. I think Jaime Foxx could play Sugar Ray. Denzel Washington could have played Sugar Ray in the 80s but not now.

    Tyson!

    From rags to riches . . . back to rags. A colorful life story in and out of the ring . . . so that others may learn from it and won't make the same mistakes in life.

    The artistic nature of boxing and the turmoil in a suicidal fighter's mind would explode the silverscreen

    None of them. That god awful Pacquiao movie made me realise it's best to stick to enjoying boxing the normal way.
