Boxing fights/fighter careers sure to inspire a future big budget movie?

Between fighting reptilians, trying to advise Povetkin on training, being robbed twice of the WBA heavyweight title, nearly killing Bergeron and making Teen Wolf 3...I'd say SNV would be THE premier subject.

 

Right, your gonna think im kidding here but AUDLEY HARRISON. The man had a bad upbringing, was in a young offenders institute, was a street fighter (so he says) then went on to University and won an Olympic gold. If he beats haye (i know i know) this movie WILL be made and Audley will probably want to play himself :yep

 

Valero's story could be made into a movie.

 

Gatti and Edison Miranda both have compelling stories.

Kassim Ouma would have been my first choice but I gather one has already been made about him - haven't seen it yet though.

 

A proper Mike Tyson movie would be good. DLH and Pacquiao could be interesting.

 

James Douglas would be a good choice. He grew up around boxing. His dad was a decent pro who fought internationally. Buster grew up, became a fighter, upset Tyson, then squandered his riches and became what? Maybe end it with the upset, or with him losing the belt shortly after and having a monologue ending...

Pac Man would be a good choice. From the dirty streets fighting for grocery money for his mom to becoming a congressman. That's pretty awesome. Bernard Hopkins, ex con to HOF fighter...another good story.

Enzo and Joe Calzaghe could be a good one.

Marquez brothers Klitschko brothers

Klitzchko Brothers

 

Duran -- the "Scarface" of boxing pix

 

Vinnie Curto '70's/80's contender. A movie on his life called Out On My Feet was being made with Mark Wahlberg as Vinnie and DeNiro as Angelo Dundee until it fl apart two days before production. Curto's life story of abused childhood by sadistic father, through his life in the mob - coming up with Hagler, in the Navy at 15, homeless, bodyguard of Carlos Leydar (head of the Columbian cartel), getting out of a jam with help from Frank Sinatra, managed by Sylvester Stallone, living at Mustang Ranch whorehouse where they owned his contract, etc, etc. The movie would be an Oscar winner

 

Edwin Valero would be good. Or Arturi Gatti.

 

Wow, that sounds like it coulda bin great (without wahlberg IMO)

Will have to check out Curto, never heard of him :good

 

Roberto Duran, if either of the Peterson brothers have success one on them would be good, Hopkins, Nate Campbell.

 

Wasn't Duran's party trick jerking off his pet tiger or lion or summat?

There's your Oscar clip
