    This should be the best boxing movie ever.

    The trailer looks excellent. Let's hope they're true to life because his story is genuinely fantastic

    I was reading that it is more about his trainer, Ray Arcel than him.

    However, I was reading this in Facebook comments of a trailer so take that for what it's worth lol

    Ray Arcel was a legendary trainer and his story would make the movie good anyway.

    Great stuff Duran the man he still sends shivers down my spine.
    I remember seeing him fight about 40 years back on TV who the hell is this guy , he left a lasting impression on me one of the best fighters I have ever had the pleasure to watch.
    In his prime and at his best he was simply brilliant I still get excited seeing his old fights.

    Has Deniro done anything good in the last 15 years? All I can think of is him being a characature of himself in bad comedy roles.

    I am really looking forward to this.

    If they get it right, it should be a thriller.

    He's definitely mailed it along with just about every other top actor from the 70's and 80's. Ironically, getting paid more for an inferior product....ala Floyd Mayweather.

    Looking forward to this, the book was brilliant so hope they nail it with the film.
    Durans story is fascinating too and just read an article that says the movie features quite a bit on Arcel (Deniros) dealings with the Mob.
    The trailers looks good so cant wait to see it.
