    Just by those brief summaries, Hands of Stone looks the most interesting.

    They better do Hands of Stone good. Got some hope for Creed. Southaw could be good, depends. Everything else I either don't care about or have no hope for, Terence Howard leading any role is a no hoper. Not into the old timely boxers like Lamotta, or the bar brawlers like Vinny. I have no idea why their always making movies about fighters like Pazienza, he lost to absolutely anyone who was anybody. There are much more worthy guys out there like Whitaker.

    Likewise. If they get it right it will be a classic.

    The Pazienza story will be about his rehabilitation from a near fatal car crash and being told he'd never box again only to prove every one wrong.

    This film basically captures what the Hollywood film will be like.

    Talking about Boxing inspiration stories, there are none better then:

    CRAIG BODZIANOSKI
    http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=2071&cat=boxer

    Despite losing his leg in a car crash, he went on to challenge for a world title, this would make for a really amazing film.

    Rocky is going to train Creed's son to do what? To take hundreds of power shots flush on the chin with his hands at his sides?:huh

    Yeah it doesn't look like a patch on Raging Bull.

    Hands of Stone easily. The rest are just meh. Creed seems somewhat interesting, as it will be from the perspective of a black boxer, which they never seem to do (don't really count the Hurricane, there was barely any boxing in it). Problem is cos it's part of the Rocky franchise, I imagine the fight scenes will be ridiculous.
