    I know this might have been discussed before, but was watching The Matrix Reloaded last night, and realised one of the ship commanders in it is actually RJJ. It had totally gone over my head before, until now!
    Can anyone give names of films that boxers have been in/starred in?

    Tommy Morrison was in a boxing film once. So was Duran and so was Antonio Tarver. Can't think of the name sorry. Something to do with stones.
