We have seen movies about: Ali Jake la motta Micky ward James Braddock Ali vs foreman Rocky graziano James j Corbett Manny pacquaio's is coming out soon Amongst others Who nex?!
I'll put a vote in for Bernard Hopkins - went to prison, lost first fight, 20 mw defenses, sued managers and promoters, champion at 49!
Manny pacquaio from being on the streets not knowing if he will eat every day to the greatest fighter of our era im just breaking down emotionally incredible story did you know pacs first fight in the PHILIPPINES he got some money the first thing he did was buy a meal for his mother .
I'd love to see a Hopkins biopic. Someone once mentioned the final shot should be Hopkins staring down every ringside "expert" who doubted his abilities due to his age
I noticed in the Micky ward film The Fighter they didn't show the gatti fights. I was a bit disappointed. Not sure what you guys think about it?
Scott Harrison. Scott's finishing a book right now which should be quite interesting and maybe it could go on the big screen.
Which fights should they focus on in a Bernard Hopkins movie? Mitchell, jones jr I, Trinidad, de la hoya, pascal I and II , cloud, shumy
How about a dual Focus movie on the competitive relationship between Zora Folly and Eddie Machen, they once drew, as well as folly winning on points, They were avoided, faught all comers, blew chances, had good wins, against the backdrop of the late 50's and early 60's and changing times, they also died within a month of each other, i'm sure there is a book in there isomewhere f nothing else.
