As hurlock said, Tapia. Easily the most interesting from a non-sporting perspective.

X2 can remember watching the trailer then never heard anything else about it looked ok from what the trailer showed
They had enough money to make the trailer but not enough to complete the film, I don't think it looked all that good to be honest.

Maybe not a film but a well done documentary about Jason Booth would be good I reckon.

The ones who have done lots of rehab are but to be fair to Jason, he is not the one who goes on about it. It is always the commentators who bring it up.

A bit too soon possibly but maybe Paul Williams, a top level fighter with potential big fights on the horizon dealt a horrific turn of fate and has to learn to cope with a new way of life.

If he walks again, I think this one is actually a likely candidate for the Hollywood treatment.

I read somwhere roberto Duran is getting a movie done & I know quite abit on my all time favourite fighter!
He used to knock out horses for prize money as young as 15 & was a hoodlum who would rob & beat hairy arsed dockers, who as we all know are pretty tough hard grafting people especially back then. I obviously don't admire muggers or mugging but it shows you his desperation & were that tiger tenacity came from to tear him out of the slums.
Duran when he got paid would throw massive party's fuelled with coke,champagne,fine cigars & plenty of broads!!

More recently, i think that Rigo could make a good film if he goes on to have a steller career (which i expect) ,domestically a film on Hatton could proberly make a good conversion to the screen.

The Duran film's out this year, supposedly. Hands of Stone. Bit bemused by the cast though. Has potential to be a stinker.
