1) Raging Bull (1980) Charting the rise and fall of self-destructive boxer Jake La Motta (Oscar-winner Robert De Niro), whose most daunting opponent was always himself, director Martin Scorseses drama is a total knockout in and out of the ring. The fight sequences manage to be gut-punchingly repugnant, strangely thrilling and all too accurate reflections of La Mottas inner rage.

2) The Set-Up (1949) Never heard of this boxing flick? You dont know what youre missing: director Robert Wises gritty, real-time film noir account of down-but-not-out Bill Stoker Thompson (Robert Ryan, a real-life boxing champ at Dartmouth and in the Marines), who refuses to go crooked or go home. (Not surprisingly, film buff Scorsese credits The Set-Ups realism as an inspiration for Raging Bull.)

3) Million Dollar Baby (2004) Director Clint Eastwood and actors Hilary S**** and Morgan Freeman all won Academy Awards for this best picture Oscar-winner, about an aging trainer (Eastwood) who reluctantly agrees to coach a determined woman, that subverts its triumph-of-the-underdog predecessors in quietly powerhouse style.

4) When We Were Kings (1996) Aint nothin like the real thing, baby, and that includes this Oscar-winning documentary about the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle match in Zaire between heavyweight champion George Foreman and the then-underdog but already legendary Muhammad Ali.

5) Fat City (1972) Another legend, director John Huston (a former boxer himself), returns to the ring for this tale of two small-town, small-time pugilist pals one (Stacy Keach) washed up, the other (Jeff Bridges) on his way up, or so he thinks who come to blows over their lost, lonely lives.

6) Champion (1949) Overlook the unconvincing fight sequences in another gritty Oscar-winner; just concentrate on the perfectly cast Kirk Douglas as a ruthless boxer who punches his way to the top, becoming a hero in public while remaining a creep in private.

7) Body and Soul (1947) Turning pro to help his impoverished family, an amateur boxer (John Garfield) discovers the dark side of the fight game, and himself, in an Oscar-winning drama that marks a transition between Hollywood formula and more realistic boxing movies. (Cinematographer James Wong Howe captured the boxing action on roller skates, as an assistant pushed him around the ring.)

8.) Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) If you know Rod Serling only for Twilight Zone, this big-screen version of his acclaimed Playhouse 90 teleplay will open your eyes, as punchy has-been Mountain Rivera (Anthony Quinn), mauled in a fight and forced to hang up his gloves, struggles to adjust to life outside the ring.

9) The Fighter (2010) Tired boxing-movie cliches battling brothers, the triumph of the underdog come alive in director David Finchers account of boxer Irish Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) fights to overcome his seriously dysfunctional family, especially the older brother (Oscar-winner Christian Bale) he once idolized.

10) Rocky (1976) OK, OK, youve been wondering about the Italian Stallions whereabouts. Truth be told, Ive never been a fan of the Oscar-winning original, but any movie that spawns five sequels (including the 20-years-later, filmed-in-Vegas Rocky Balboa) must have something going for it, notably its inspirational tale of a million-to-one shot going the distance. Which, when you think of it, pretty much describes not only Rocky but his creator/alter ego, Sylvester Stallone.

is there an official poll for who they think will win on this site yet ? im interested to see it , if i hazard a guess it would read something like 70% in mayweathers favor which would mean this forum will be very quiet on sunday if pacquiao wins the fight .

And Roach also explained the horrifying reason why Pacquiao was homeless in the first place, saying: "Manny ran away from home after his father ate his dog."

We're not sure of the situation. If you're starving then you'll do crazy things just to survive. Either that or the father is bat **** crazy. LOL.

Its common in poor asian countries as well as india.. No eating your kids dog hah. but dog meat... I was watching a documentary recently and i think.. thailand or vietnam?... turns out cheap ass restaurants that foreigners stay at were serving dog meat.. with such an abundance of stray dogs.. its crazy..

Being an American as a student in the Philippines.. I only eat what i cook and don't by street food..
