    That’s a good list. But rocky is not only the best boxing movie ever made it’s one of the best movies ever made. Captures the human spirit and the score is second to none.

    I still think that Ali was a decent movie regardless of how annoying Will Smith is in real life.

    I also quite liked the Dempsey biographical movie starring Treat Williams.

    As for the list above, its a solid list except for Creed. The Creed movies are decent entertainment but don't hold a candle to any of the Rocky films. Even Rocky 5 is better than Creed.

    IMHO The Raging Bull is the best boxing AND sports movie of all time, nothing really comes close tbh.

    Irish Terry Conklin had a mean right hand.

    I like The Great White Hope with James Earl Jones. To be honest I also like the Rocky movie with Tommy Morrison lol.
