Heart and Soul relating... What life created man and boy to do together... support and care about each other... for as long as you can, as much as you can. Ricky was heart-wrenchingly devoted to his Dad, and BELONGED with him. Was it really better for the boy to return to a mother who had left both his dad and him earlier, just because of the financially better circumstances? Money is indeed important, and all the education you need to earn it, but if you don't have the love you had with your Dad (or 2nd fathers everywhere who genuinely care about you and your development as a boy) how could it be worth it to leave for money?... Such a sad, poignant and telling Ending. Yet, probably the most intense moment of the movie is when Dad (John Voight) actually makes Ricky think he doesn't love him any more so he will leave and go with his Mother, then, after he leaves, heartbroken that the Champ can say he doesn't love him any more, his dad, trying to help the son he loves more than anything else in the world by sending him away, punches the cement wall with such force we instinctively recoil sensing the physical pain that can only begin to express the emotional pain it took to pull off such a LIE!
