Rocky. I actually voted Rocky 2 in the best Rocky film thread but that was 8 years ago. Rocky is a masterpiece. They all are IMO. 

 

Champ and The Fighter are superb as well. Obviously so is Raging Bull but I haven't watched it enough.

De Niro is sensational in Raging Bull, one of the most dedicated method acting performances of all time.

 

Terrific story as well and naturally great chemistry with Joe Pesci.

I've never seen Fat City or The Fighter.  Some of the other films on the mentioned are really good, but Raging Bull is the only correct answer.

They should have done more together after that. They could have done a few good movies
