'Excuse My Glove' from the mid-30s? That featured a lot of boxing champs, from home and abroad.

'Excuse My Glove' from the mid-30s? That featured a lot of boxing champs, from home and abroad.

Hooray we have a winner.

Excuse my glove, in the starring role HOF Len Harvey, plus in supporting roles Jimmy Wilde, Pancho Villa, Billy Wells, Tommy Farr, Gunner Moir.
and a host of other boxers. Its got to be the most boxers in one film, and i can't see the acting being top quality.

Where's my prize?

Here's another one for you. Which boxing film featured a real-life former world welterweight champion in a small supporting role, playing the ex-boyfriend (who is NOT a boxer) of an alcoholic woman who has shacked up with a washed-up boxer?

[chesh]

I meant to ask:

1) the name of the film;
2) the name of the former world welterweight champ.

[ManchesterMexican]

Raging Bull

Jake Lamotta

[chesh]

Sorry, Manchester Mex, not the right answer!
