    So, the most obvious are Ali and Raging Bull. Than there was a German TV movie in two parts about Bubi Scholz.

    I know there was a Jack Johnson, a Barney Ross and a Rubin Carter movie but I don“t remember the titles right now.

    What else were made?

    There's the Howard Winstone film coming up with Barrera playing Vicente Saldivar. I think the film's called "Risen."

    There is. William Treat plays Jack Dempsey in the movie "Dempsey". Pretty good imo.

    There was a TV movie about Tyson, (made by HBO, IIRC) just called Tyson. I think it was released either towards the end of his prison sentence or just after he got out.
