The best boxing movie

:huh Sounds like it should star Luciano Pavorotti (sic?)
I'm sure Muhammad Ali would recommend the movie I mentioned since he's in the opening scene. Also, you might be suprised there are many Italian and Russian fight fans that do like opera.
Al Capone loved opera I don't think anyone made fun of him for it

 

the Don King flick was entertaining, so many quoatables and pretty good acting by ving.

howabout these forgotten gems??

Never seen it. Have to go on to netflix.

 

What was the name of the movie that Salvador Sanchez is in? It was in the late 80's? It was a boxing flick and I vaguely remember it.

 

Check it out sir, even if you aren't an opera fan, as a boxing fan, you should at least read up on it. I thought about the Italians and Russians on here, but never posted anything regarding this opera. Thought about it many times, just couldn't work up the courage.

 

When We Were Kings. Very good. Million Dollar Baby, good, but, the ending sucked. Rocky I, a classic. Cinderalla Man, great. I can't get enough of that movie.

 

Yes it was. I still use that washing the hands quote. And seriously if you think about it. It kinda does make sense to wash your hands before you **** as well. I mean think about it. All the nasty shite you touch in a day and then handle your junk with those same germs. lol.:barf

 

That is probably my favorite boxing movie period.

 

late 80's? so it was archive footage then. Im interested to know also..

 

my fav line was.."moolah not allah" hahahah, he had some ill one liners!
How about when DK hid in the Hotel room of Ali's, later coming out reciting the muslim prayer to Ali and Herbert.

 

hmmm... I'll have to get back to you on that one. Anybody else think of it?

 

Classic.

 

Alright gents, college is calling me. I am already late for my first class (Public Speaking) and I have to give a major speech (ironically on boxing). But I will be back to continue this thread (it's a good one). Until then, have a nice day lads.

1. Great List but what about Goldie and the Boxer? Bet nobody thought of that one. I saw that right after my 6th b-day and cried. (I know OJ was in it and he is hated by most but the little girl who played Goldie was great!)
