Re: Whose careers would make good movies?
Morris East. He won the WBA 140lb title back in 92.
He was a Filipino whose father was a black GI and he wanted to become a boxing champion so he could find his father in the US. He went to Japan and KO'd Hiranaka (who had done Edwin Rosario in ONE) but lost in his first defence against Juan Coggi in Argentina.
For some reason he stopped fighting at 21. I always wondered what happened to him. He never got to fight in America either....
