Which Boxer's stories would make good Bio-pics?

Kassim the Dream

But it's not a biopic, it's a documentary.

 

Kassim the dream

 

Battling Siki
Saad
Schmeling (if done properly)
Ketchel
Kid McCoy
Les Darcy


Some of them wouldn't exactly be feel-good affairs though...

 

Ah, okay.

 

Not really a fan of Hopkins' style but would pay to see a good movie of his life.

 

I'm surprised BTW how these threads never mention Hamed, maybe the most charismatic boxer since Ali.

 

Probably because he's not really had that interesting a life compared to other fighters, even though he is probably a more interesting character.

 

Victor Ortiz and his story he told us on 24/7. But then again, it wouldn't be a biopic since it'd be fictional.

 

I was just about to say Naz lol. Most entertaining boxer ever.

Qawi
Bowe
Liston

 

There are a lot of names that could merit a bio-pic. Most boxers and good films share in common an excess of things, from adversary/adversaries, triumph/redemption etc, etc..

 

Sugar Ray Robinson. Or if we are talking about boxers still alive, Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield.

 

sonny Listons story would be a good film

 

Johnny Tapia all day long.

 

Edison Miranda would have been a good biopic if he managed to get a world title.
