    Re the Hands of Stone movie, Pacino is set to play Arcel and Gael Garcia Bernal will play Duran.

    Seems a stretch for Gael. Do you think they will do his whole life/career? And do the weight gain thing?

    Is Gael in training now? Read how Denzel for The Hurricane trained for a year before filming started.

    And JG/JR, I was only kidding in your language thread yesterday about "Schweinhund" etc.
    You seemed to disappear?

    And JR, have you written a book?
    If not, why not?
    I guess you could always compile some of your voluminous works.

    And no compile jokes.

    Writing a book is like a few things in life.
    Once you get the past the first one, 2nd, 3rd etc. are easy.
    (Don't ask me what fields/genres.)

    Some questions JG:

    Who do you think will win in Froch-Johnson?

    And I think you wrote that you'd favor Floyd over Pac if they ever fought, yes?

    But do you think Floyd is done now permanently?

    Think Froch will win a UD, P.

    What I said about Floyd 'n Pac was: On paper Floyd has EVERY edge (except punching power), but should they fight, think Pac will catch lightning in a bottle.

    Hows it going, JG?

    You sure are "pound for pound" one of the greatest that ever did it on the Classic.
