« on: January 09, 2007, 05:22:15 AM »
i would say raging bull.the reason this movie is the greatest boxing movie is because this movie was based on a real boxer s life jake lamatta and also robert di nero was at his best in this movie.

Requiem for a Heavyweight.  Anthony Quinn and Jackie Gleeson and Somebody Up There Likes Me with Paul Newman as Rocky Graziano.  As great of a movie that Rocky was, check these out.  Classics.

I wonder what it's going to be like for Keith when he looks back later on in life and realized that he's accomplished nothing outside of knowing a few people no one will care about in 30 years.  ::)

Yes

I wonder that now.  Hopefully I can do something in the next few years so I can talk about myself instead.

Quite asking me questions about this stuff cause you rag onme for name dropping and talking about the past all the time. 

This was in 1987 when Jake, Ali, and a few others were inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame.  I was the Guest of Honor..  At dinner I sat between Jake and Ali and became pretty good friends with them.  It was one of the most memroable nights I have ever had.  Every person you can think of in the boxing industry was there.

That is pretty cool actually. Jake is the man. I only ragged on you cuz you got pissed about my OPINION about BJ's cardio. But that was a few days ago, thats like 3 years in Getbig time. Cool Pic.

that one about that Greek guy who was a boxer and during the holocaust he fought death matches for the Nazi's to stay alive...anyone know the movie I am referring to?

Yea Russell Crowe starred in it.  That was a good movie.  He fought Max Baer

I believe you are referring to Cinderella Man, which is not what she is referring too, I haven't seen the one she is talking about.

But you gotta admit his stories kick ass. I like the most recent one where he beat a doberman to death with his bare hands!  :o

That is a true story.  That dog bite me twice before I did anything including telling my friend Carl what I was going to do unless he got the dog away from me.
