    Wow! Good for Clay, as options alone can't be bad $$$'s.

    Whoever plays Billy will be a shoo-in for an Oscar if it's done right. Everything the Academy likes ;)

    I'm calling Will Smith for Miske.

    Will Smith is about as right for Miske as Hugh Jackman is for Jack Johnson ;)

    Congratulations Clay Moyle.

    I hope we get an excellent period drama Boxing movie in line with believable stories and players we both cheer for and scowl at.

    Good Luck man!
