    Agreed. I thought the same thing a few years back. Plus, Mos Def has been dabbling in acting for awhile anyways, so why not?

    nah I'm sure he could bulk up and you can always make people look taller in movies

    ask Pacino, Dinero, Cruise or Devito ..may be not Devito

    I wouldn't mind seeing Christian Bale play him. Fantasitic method actor.

    I would watch it. Patterson was awesome. Great fighter, great personality and the greatest gentleman to ever lace them up.

    sad but most likely true

    but with the right cast, director, producer and promotion behind it I think it would be a success

    I mean great boxing films don't always have to be about the most famous boxers.

    Somebody up there likes me
    Raging Bull
    The Fighter
    Cinderella man

    All great films about great boxers but not necessarily the most well known.

    Yeah I thought the same thing when watching some Patterson interviews a few years back. Plus I am a fan of Mighty Mos, one of my favorite rappers.

    Irshinny, you serious? Bale is white. Why wouldn't you have a black man play a black man?

    No method acting can teach that without blacking up

    which is just wrong! :-(
