Rocky. Im such a big fan of stallone and the Rocky films are definatly his best work. Being the hardcore fan that i am i even liked V. The flashbacks with Mick were so well done. Im a soft sod.

Ack! Rocky !V had to be the best ever! (and we all know that deep down Stallone shoulda stopped there ) But what you shoulda added was, "What is it that makes a truly great boxing movie?" For instance, has anyone seen Million Dollar Baby yet? Four academy awards and it's easy to see why. I gotta admit the movie didn't turn out the way I thought it would and there wasn't as much boxing as one would expect. But all in all a great movie.

Does Bloodsport count? That was sort of boxing, kickboxing no?

What about Play it to the Bone? Nevermind any of the acting performances ... I just thought it was a nice change to look at boxing from the bottom up ...

Cinderella Man was a chick flick. so if yr a chick its fine but if yr not then you have a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance of being straight.

Pride FC? Do they all wear rainbow trunks or something? Tell each other how badly coordinated their wardrobes are?

Boxing is an AWESOME sport ... endurance, perception, strength ... one of the best individual based competitions ... after all, isn't boxing kinda like a RL FPS? Heh heh heh ...
