Who are some boxers that don't have a movie about their life that you feel....

I was beat to Johnny Tapia. It wouldn't be one of those "uplifting" movies. It would be a hard gritty story about the resiliancy of the human spirit and the failure of human nature.

 

surprised more people havent said tyson

 

There's been a movie about Tyson.

Ricardo Mayorga. :rofl

 

Max Schmeling. Living in nazi Germany being an icon. World champion. Robbed of the title. Creating a sensation beating Louis. Not being a real nazi and being hated in America for the Louis rematch. Disgrace in Germany after the LKO1. Saving jews during the Crystal Night. Having a jewish manager and a slovakian wife. Defending manager in personal conversation with Hitler. Defending his wife from press attacks due to her "inferior race". Soldier during WW2. Ruined, but financial comeback as a part of the Coca Cola company. Helping Joe Louis financially. Continuing nazi-insinuations for decades from the international press. Redemption as the two jews he saved during the crystal night invites him to the US. An icon in Germany with stadiums and arena named after him. Living a long life with the same wife. Everything is there for a great movie. There has been made a tv-movie about his friendship with Joe Louis, but I haven't seen it.
