The original film took 85 minutes, this one 121; the extra length has not improved the story.

Voight is fine as boxer on a comeback, but Ricky Schroeder steals the film. I dare you not to cry!
Nolan's Pop Culture Review

Pale remake of Wally Berry classic.

I admit it. I cried.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
The most offputting thing about such canny, tear-stained movies as The Champ is not their naïveté but their unholy sophistication. These movies don't mean to deal with the world as it really is, but as it should be.
New York Times
A three-alarm, three-hanky movie of the highest order, perfect for your kids who don't get to see many truly sad films.
