    Larry Holmes.. There is a great movie ..

    Came up the hard way...

    Sparring partner for Frazier..
    Sparring partner for Ali..
    Boxed his whole career on Alis undercard.. even in Manilla on the undercard of the Ali v Frazier 3 rd fight..

    Then beats his old nemesis Ali, takes the title from a great heavyweight in Norton and dominates for 7 and a half years with 20 succesful defences..

    returns to fight Tyson in his prime ..returns to fight Holyfield in his prime.

    returns and faces a tough as nails contender and wbo holder around that time in Ray Mercer and beats him , sorry ... SCHOOLS HIM... and retires with much money and a town in his own name.. Mister succesful,
    A great movie if i ever saw one....

    Mosley's colorful exploits in the ring is a good one.

    The "rise and fall".

    what about SRR, could be a very good story all time p4p champ , showing his rise and the troubles he had, about his stint in the army with joe louis then show how he fell and lived 'in poverty' until he died could be quite a sad story.

    It will probably do better on a book but for the haters that don't know Manny Pacquiao's life story, it's pretty amazing.
    Dirt poor, abandoned by his father, 3rd grade education, left home at 14 to the big city on a different island. Did odd jobs to survive, lived often on the streets, for extra income he boxed for change, took some fights on short notice without anybody giving him a chance. He kept his dignity, no criminal records and he also remained humble.

    So please, don't count him out!
