Southpaw movie

[tysonesque]

As a boxing fan I generally make a point of not watching boxing movies because the majority of them are complete shit.

The only boxing movie I really rate is Raging Bull and that's because the boxing is only a very small part of it. With a cast like that film had, it couldn't really fail. That said, it's also the only boxing-based movie I've ever seen where the action in the ring isn't embarrassingly bad.

The Rocky films are bad, but in a fun way if that makes sense. They are just so overly cliched and ridiculous that you can't help but love the early ones. I refuse to believe that Stallone made those films expecting them to be taken seriously.
