    Million Dolla Baby,seriously one of the saddest films i ever watched,i was really choking at the end.
    You just have to love the Rocky's for the sheer entertainment value although Rocky 6 was actually alot more heartfelt and plotfilled than i ever expected.
    Gladiator with Cuba Gooding Jr. was a great film and really highlighted young boxers' struggles over scummy promoters.
    Great White Hype ... Damon Wayan,that **** was hilarious.
    Hurricane ... although not much boxing in it, it is still a great drama.
    Raging Bull,**** that film speaks for itself,probably the best made boxing film ever,really gripping stuff.

    forgot about Girlfight with michelle rodriguez,very very good film

    how could i forget tays,i watched it like a week ago,made my english girlfriend sit through it when she came over to derry lol
    its more political but the boxing in it is still great and danny day lewis looks like he could be pretty competitive in it,great condition and great technique.proabably the best actor who used true boxing techniques in a film and training.

    Million Dollar Baby

    IIt must have been "The Champ" with Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder. I literally cried at the end.. "Champ, wake up champ"

    Best for me

    I know its just a movie but its kinda reminder of why not disrespect anyone who walks in that ring.

    One of the best movies Ive seen, great acting by Schroeder. Im pretty sure the cast had no problems crying for this scene
