Paul Giamatti as his promoter & corner man was the bomb too.

Honestly, that's one of the best boxing movies that's been made outside of Raging Bull & I honestly like Cinderella Man better due to the fact that it was a period peice that was done correctly.

Russell Crowe was good, The guy who played Max Baer was good... accurate or not, and Paul Giamatti was really good.

Enjoyed that film quiet a bit, despite hating Rennee 'Lemon lips' Zelwegger

WIll Smith did an excellent job of playing Ali and boxing.

as far as an actor changing for a role it rates wayyyy up there.....

DeNiro

Woody Harrelson in Play it to the Bone ;D

i was waiting on someone to drop the woody harrelson bomb

although no matter what role he takes I still him as micky knox from natural born killers ;)

Robert De Niro

Tommy Morrison as Tommy Gunn ;)

Toney actually made for a good Frazier in Ali even though I didn't enjoy that movie as much as you think I would (being a big Ali fan.)

I like De Niro and Russel Crowe. I think Crowe was about as good a boxerr as Braddock was to :P

Though I hated the way the gentlemen Baer was treated in that movie.
