Sullivan for the heavyweight boxing title around the turn of the century (1892 to be exact).\u00a0 Great story and plenty of action and emotion as this fictitious version of James J. and James L is as good as it gets.\u00a0 The final scene where the former champ gives his belt buckle\u00a0to Corbett is one of the best.\u00a0Respect in sports is\u00a0so valuable and this is shown is spades.\u00a0Ward Bond\u2019s James L is one of his best roles.\u00a0 Flynn is wonderful and Alexis Smith is not only hot but can give as much as she could take.
