    A beautifully done Jack Johnson would be the ultimate.

    Could definitely see a Bio-Pic of Manny being made in the future, especially if he fights & beats Mayweather.

    Peterson also seems like a good choice.

    BHop would've made an excellent Robert Altman movie back in the 70s, "fighting the system" however is a storyline a few decades too old now. Disagree on Pac, it has every ingredient for a corny Hollywood drama, tough childhood and underdog role overcame to huge success and marital, gambing, tax problems - but it lacks a charismatic character which Pacquiao isn't. Freddie Roach rather, that could work. Or Buboy: The Biopic. :lol:

    Good choice.

    Definitely has potential to be a really great Bio Pic if executed right :good

    True, true. It would most likely be cliche, but I still see it being made eventually.
