Which boxer's life would make the best movie?

[ferocity]

Ali (Ali) has already been made.
LaMotta (Raging Bull) has already been made.
James Braddock (Cinderella Man) has already been made.
That's all I can think of right now 'cause I'm tired as ****
and I believe a Micky Ward movie is in the makings!

I'd like to see Robinson though, Mike Tyson (Think there actually is one) Hopkins, Joe Louis, Foreman, Gatti... There's a bunch of dudes that'd be cool to see a movie about.

Jack Johnson

A Tyson, Louis, Johnson movie have already been made.

Hbo made the Tyson movie, very well done back in the mid 90's. The Louis and Johnson movies probably were in the 60's.

A Johnny Tapia movie. Living La Vida Loca.

Haven't had a chance to pick up his book, I imagine there's plenty of drama and tragedy.

gatti or hopkins is my choices

Johnson, that's self explanatory.

Tysons life is a movie. Raised on the mean streets of brooklyn when crime and murder were through the roof. Hung out with girls because the boys made fun of him and picked on him, knocked out a gang member when he was 13 or whatever and discovered he was tough. So he starts robbing people in the neighborhoods with some thugs going in and out of the juvenile justice system untill he's discovered by an ex boxer who sees potential in him. Gets taken to Cus damato who becomes the father he never had to him and brings him into his family. He trains him untill he becomes the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Damato dies and he plunges into a downward spiral of self destructive and criminal behavior etc etc.

Tysons would be the most action packed because of the whole thug youngster having the father he never had in Cus and then a huge fall from Grace from being the most feared boxer in the world and Heavyweight champion of the world and on the way to being the greatest Heavyweight ever to a Criminal lifestyle with the whole ****. Gattis would be cool because the Rocky Balboa style of Fighting in the films would actually be like Gattis career

Well, most of them have already been mentioned. I suppose they could make a Gerald McClellan movie with a good message i.e. the brutality of Boxing.
Sonny Liston had a very interesting life. And Evander Holyfield could end up in another Rocky-like movie.

[Southpaw Stinger]

Listons would be cool. Also - Johnson, Dempsey, Louis.
