    Shane Mosley would have made a great Archie Moore

    COULD be good. Foreman's life and career would be one of the easiest to make a good film out of. Will they, though? Who knows.

    It was cracking me up though, the actor they got looked way more like Earnie Shavers than George Foreman.

    Looks like Ving Rhames’ Sonny Liston film … streaming in about a week.

    I sure hope it’s better and more historically accurate than that pile of dung.

    It seems from the trailer (but I can't say) that the movie doesn't cover the Olympic part of Foreman's life, which is a mistake. Yet Foreman won the gold medal for the USA, with so few amateur matches it's unbelievable.

    I always thought Shane looked a lot like someone- Now I know who...

    I actually remember wanting to see that so bad as a kid- Glad I haven't ever seen it.

    Looks like it could be fun.
    "The Once & Future King".
    Or Champion, that is Epic.
