    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.

    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.
