I love boxing as a sport. Hasn't been anybody that really stands out since Ali, but still. I've watched Rocky movies a zillion times. You just got to love the concept of a man being able to fight his way out of poverty.

Like him or hate him, I think Tyson deserves a little recognition. Nowhere near Ali, but still worthy of some recognition.

You didn't like Cinderella Man?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. That was a good one. They didn't make it when I was a kid so it's not ingrained into my memory.

Another recent one would be Ali, which was great, and then there's the Hurricane with Denzel which wasn't so much about boxing as it was about one particular boxer, which was fantastic.

Ok then, how about Raging Bull?

What about wrestling films like Paradise Alley and Beyond The Mat?
