The best boxing movie

im not a fan of raging bull,i loved the book but thought the movie sucked,maybe its my hatred for joe pesci.
i like the hurricane the omst

 

anyone remember a film starring cuba gooding jr from the late 80s/early 90's ?
cant remembwer the name

 

Requiem for a Heavyweight!

 

Great movie. Forgot about that one. Loved it.

 

Really? Dude cracks me up.

 

all his roles are near identical though,except home alone which is like censored version of pesci

 

True. Still, I can't help but like the guy.

 

That is a good list. I hate Million Dollar Baby though.

 

Undefeated was great,not many people know it but it was a hell of a movie.Leguizamo played great in it

 

Got that from netflix a few months back. Great stuff. Right you are. Superb acting on Leguizamo's part.

 

I say Raging bull but i you count "When we were kings" as a movie then its the best.

 

Damn...Forgot about "Don King" Only in America" with Ving Rhames....that movie was the ****!!

 

Lex Vargas rocked:yep :good and that ***** of his was great.

 

:good :good :good
Boxing fans! This is one of the greatest little known boxing movies of all time!!! Anthony Quinn plays an aging HW that had enough talent to be a contender but never a Champ. In the begining of the movie he is beaten badly by the real Muhammad Ali (at that time he was still Cashius Clay). It's written by Rod Serling creator of the "The Twillight Zone" It also has a cameo of Jack Dempsey. Mickey Rooney is great as the loyal corner man and Jackie Gleason plays the unscrupulous manager. It's in black and white and has a gritty realistic feel to it.
I have always thought this is the best boxing movie I've ever seen. I saw Bert Sugarman asked this same question and this movie was his answer.
This is a must movie for any boxing fan!! :good

 

Also a great. Favorite line King: "I wash my hands before I touch my dick".
