    Yes just heard the story. I have not watched the film but yes remarkable story.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The only fight of his I ever saw was when he destroyed Emile Griffith.

    I don't follow Halls of Fame, personally I think they're boring and useless, but is he in Canastota?

    One of my favorites movie! Chocking story! Hard growing up in his shoes in the 70s! Glad they made a movie 'bout it!

    Rip!

    I enjoyed it , but I've heard it's historical accuracy is questionable. I really don't know the ins and outs of that one, but the story ( even if Hollywood) is a damn good one.

    I heard that too. That's the main reason I put off watching it...but I'll probably watch it in the next few days. It's not the first and certainly won't be the last Hollywood film to exaggerate details.

    I was never into HOF either and P4P lists.. p4p is all just some subjective bullshit and it dont mean nothing.

    HOF? Arturo Gatti is in it..
