boxers starring in movies??????

http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145049
also features Alan Minter

 

Barney Ross is the last guy in the line on that vid, Basilio is smoking a *** and I think Abe Simon, one of Louis's victims is in that clip too, Pep is the guy with the hat

 

Ha Ha. I was gonna start a thread today about a film I bought from Morrisons last night. Its called 'Homeboy' and it stars Mickey Rourke and cost me £3. Its about a boxer (Rourke of course) who's too old to fight but needs the money and isn't good at anything else. Some 'small time gansta' (Christopher Walken) tries to take Rourke under his wings etc etc. In this film there is cameo's by Michael Buffer and no other than Iran Barkley

 

was it Johnny Saxton the guy 4th from the front the blac guy

Pep was 2nd from the front

didnt see Basilio though

 

I think Bassilo is the guy getting a light from Gus Lesnevich.

 

think your right

 

Only recognised Pep and Basilio from the 'Requiem for a Heavyweight' clip (and Ali obviously).

Take a look at the cast list :shock:

I should have got Barney Ross, I watched one his fights a couple of weeks ago!!

you notice fighters look completly different when there not fighting

also he did look abit old in that video it wasnt as though he had just finished the fight you had watched - what one was it?

 

what was that film archie moore was in with charles bronson ?..think he was a cook..on a train journey, i think

 

sugar ray robinson was in the detective

 

John Stracey and Jimmy Batten in "The Krays"
Jimmy Batten, John Conteh and Terry Marsh in "Tank Malling"

 

Archie was in Breakheart Pass with Charles Bronson. He has a good fight scene with Bronson but ends up getting thrown of a train.
