As much as I like Roy, I don't think his life translates well into a movie. If you look at the guys who have had movies made about them - Ali, Rocky Graziano, Jake Lamotta, Tyson - they've all had incredible lives outside the ring as well. Graziano and Lamotta were street thugs who ran into trouble pretty much their whole lives, Tyson was just insane.

Roy had an amazing career, but besides being screwed out of a gold medal and his fallout with his father, not a lot of amazing stuff has happened to him in his life (or at least none that has been made public knowledge). I mean who wants to watch a movie about a guy who was WAY too good and was never really challenged for the first 15 years of his career?
