Which Past Boxer...

Post by Goodnight, Irene »

...would you more like to see a Hollywood movie about out of these two?

Jack Johnson or Jack Dempsey?

Post two boxers then let the next man answer, post their own, and so on.

Hollywood is the key word.

There was a Dempsey film in the 80's, too.

Johnson.
Would have to be an epic scene for the Jeffries fight.
(Jack would be portrayed as a saint, of course, and there would be no attempt at depicting the complex character which might bag somebody an oscar).

Bobby Chacon or Danny Lopez?

Ok.
I'll take Mike Quarry.
Dark, depressing drama which tells the story of Mike's struggle to emerge from under his brothers shadow only to fail miserably at the hands of Bob Foster and both brothers end up punchy. More depressing than The Road.

Who the hell is Georges Chuvalo?

Battling Siki or Sonny Liston.

Greb, all day long!! Robinson had his chance, and he couldn't put DeNiro down. You didn't put him down, Ray!

Greb should have been done in the eighties, with a young Jack Nicholson in the starring role (just needs a good make-up person to do the nose). Give the role of Mickey Walker to DeNiro and Tunney would be played by.....................
