Not sure it is a "boxing film", but a gem

You are right, so much more than a boxing film, with palpable characters.
My memory is a few years old, so I can't argue about Delon overplaying some scene (I read my old review...), but certainly a role that will stay in movie history.
A must see film, for sure. Hardly needs any recommendation.

with my tongue firmly in cheek. But I am deadly serious about the quality of those boxing sequences. I have NEVER seen boxing well-filmed before. Ever. Delon may have had a boxing history in his boyhood? He reminded me very much of a famous boxer named Alexis Arguello, both facially, body-type, and punch delivery (long straight blows with the elbow snapping).

  Delon has organised a lot of boxing events.
  Lately he was very friend friend with the Nazi Le Pen. Now after his last wife separated he is thinking of suicide, only his kids are in the way.
  He already has a chapel build for him where is body will sooner or later rest.
