Best true story Boxing film ever made


I absolutely love this movie. David O Russel as usual made a gem and the acting (especially Bale) was incredible all around. This is one of my favorite boxing films of all time. It may just take over Rocky for the fact that it is true , and the archival footage is fantastic. I watched it again the other day when I popped in the Blue Ray and man I forgot how great it is.
If someone can tell me a better acted and story for a boxing film i would like to hear someone tell me.?? It can only be put up there with Rocky , but the fact that it is true trumps it IMHO.

THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!

raging bull was better but this is awesome too. You just can't beat the combination of de Niro, Pesci, and Scorsese. It's humanly impossible
