Craig was a great boxer to say the least and one heck of a nice guy too. Painted his Harley back in 91, Candy Red/Dark Flames, still have the pics. A truly determined human being and such an inspirational example for others to follow. RIP Craig.

I saw his comeback bout. My father knew his family. Both of our dad's bred pit bulls. I was always amazed at his desire to not give up. That is a true fighter.

Met Craig at a party at the height of his boxing career.He was one of the coolest people you would ever want to meet.He never bragged about who he was and just wanted to mingle and have fun.His Brother Howard was another story,he was even bigger than Craig but i seen him beat up a much smaller guy than him even though the smaller guy begged him to leave him alone.Two contrasting men.I'm glad I met Craig and i wish him nothing but sucess in his life.CLASS ACT!!!

I read about Craig some 20 years ago in The Ring magazine. I tought: What a heroe that man is. Not one of 1,000,000 could do this! Not only not complaining about his fate, but boxing against world competition in very difficult weight-classes! As I´m a boxer, too, I know that professionell boxing is the toughest sport! Hats off!

It has an inherently interesting setting, topic and main character. At its best, the story is stirring, gripping and funny. It's obvious that you understand basic spec-screenplay formatting.

His name is Craig "Gator" Bodzianowski, who in the 80's was a promising cruiser weight pro boxer with a great record{13-0}Then he lost his leg below the knee in a motorcycle mishap. This is a true story of incredible will, courage, determination and skill. He goes on to defy the authorities, critics and naysayers to fight for the cruiser weight championship of the world!! the only PRO athelete to EVER participate on that level as an amputee, period. Like I said, this is a TRUE tale and a sure blockbuster. The screen writers synopsis to follow: ON THE ROPES This is the incredible true story of Chicago South Sider Craig Gator Bodzianowski, who made one of the greatest professional sports comebacks ever. Gator takes his never quit attitude that he got from his father into the boxing ring and compiles an amazing amateur record. Soon he turns pro and resolves to become the cruiserweight champion of the world. He meets and falls in love with Sheila, a beautiful girl whos athletic enough to keep pace with him. While Gator winning record continues to grow, so does his ego. Once Sheila realizes hes cheating on her, she dumps him. Gators father, his coach and his brother, Billy, warn him he had better straighten out his wild ways or suffer his first knockout. Only after Billys accidental death does Gator refocus and rededicate himself to winning the title. Everything changes when he has a horrific motorcycle accident. After several operations his lower right leg has to be amputated. The doctors say his boxing career is over but he will be able to jog again on prosthesis. Gators friends, trainers and family are devastated. But Gator knows what no one else knows. He knows that if he can jog, he can run. And if he can run, he can box. Through harrowing pain, dedication and focus, Gator makes a remarkable recovery. Sheila sees the changes in him and comes back to support him. Defying all his critics, Gator fights to get back in the ring and after many setbacks, makes his professional comeback and wins. When Gators critics charge that the fight was fixed, the cry goes out to revoke his license. Gator proves them wrong again by taking on all comers and compiling an impressive winning record. He has to fight boxing commissions, critics, boxers and perceptions. Gator perseveres and amazes the world with his comeback, culminating in an extraordinary world title fight. Gator shows the world how to fight with your heart. The world shows Gator what the most important things in life are, love and family. On The Ropes was a quarter finalist in the Maui Screen writing Competition and the Empire Screenplay Contest, the Illinois Screen writing Contest, a finalist at the Script Connection, and semifinalist in the Nicholls Fellowships. This dramas humor and raw power will make a great vehicle for an up and coming star.
