It’s Wednesday again, so that means it’s time for the fourth week of the “Best Sports Movies” series. The results are in for boxing and it’s time to start the hockey poll. Just like how hockey tends to be the forgotten sport among the most popular ones in America, hockey movies often get forgotten when discussing the best sports movies. However, there are still some great hockey movies, so let’s see which ones you think are the best. To start though, we’ll take a look at the results of the best boxing movies from last week’s poll. If you want to look back at other articles in the series, here are the links: Intro; Baseball; Basketball

I’ll start by saying that I am a huge fan of the Rocky franchise, but I honestly was not expecting that all the top three would be from the Rocky franchise. The other movies are all great, even though they weren’t voted to be part of the top three. Just looking at Rocky IV, Creed, and Rocky, you have some of the best training montages and boxing fights for any movies, which are debatably the most important parts of a boxing movie. Anyways, there are some great movies here, but I didn’t get them all, so make sure to enter any movies I might have missed as “Other”.
