tonyevsRussell Crowe has made a film based on James Braddock –The Cinderella Man.
What fighter would you like to see a movie based on? And why?
My choice would be Harry Greb.
The twenties are almost always regarded as the golden age of the sport and there was such a rich selection of characters about then it would just grab the imagination.
The book on Greb was very good and also quite funny in parts.
So there would be humour, a great story, how he ran away from home to be a worlds champion, heartache, with the loss of his wife and Greb`s notoriety with the women would bring in the glamour and with over 300 fights against the top men of the time the boxing enthusiast would be spoilt.

I would like to see george chuvallo's post career taken into movie. His sad story by the death of his sons and wife is very dramatic.
