I have several but will not hog all the best ones.
My favorite is Russell Crowe as James Braddock in "Cinderella Man". Directed by Ron Howard and co starring Paul Giamatti. I found this to be an excellent movie from the boxing genre..
I will add one old one as unlike many I still very much enjoy old back and white movies from the 40s and 50s.
The 1956 movie "Somebody Up There Likes Me" with a young Paul Neuman starring as Rocky Graziano. Tremendous performance by Newman playing the born on the wrong side of the Bronx, NY tracks Rocky Graziano. Directed by Robert Wise, character actor Harold J. Stone stands out as Rocky's beaten by life father.

The late Harold J. Stone who passed in 2005 at the ripe old age of 94 had a 50 plus year career of playing tough guys mostly on TV shows like The Untouchables, Bonanza, The Rockford Files etc etc..
Anyway, there a lot more outstanding movies based on Boxing with Raging Bull probably the all time best.
What are your favorites?
