Champion is a below average boxing tale, that doesn't pack a punch.
It's not a bad film, it's engaging, that said Midge's a nasty fellow. Connie should of seen Midge's actions towards Emma coming and he shouldn't of let him treat him like dirt. It's just weak writing. Why did Midge want Grace? Why? His wife was more attractive and sweet and Grace was a snob just using his money. Then he gives up on Palmer for money, when he probably just wasted a bunch on Grace. The boxing wasn't memorable, so you basically have a drama about an unlikable character that hurts people in and out of the ring.
