    Charley Burley. Digging out a living fighting some of the best fighters that ever lived on no notice and refusing dirty money at every turn.

    On The Waterfront with an ATG, which is what I would call it, All Time Greatest.

    **** it, call Johnny Tapia's story 'Mi Vida Loca'

    Its easy, but its true.

    Who would play the lead role? Joe Pesci springs to mind, but he's too old

    Somebody said make a film on Tyson.

    I gaurantee that film will be made in the next 20 years.

    Good luck getting a lead actor who can play Tysons role convincingly.
    It would make a great story but Tyson is such an unusual looking dude I dont get an actor who could look like him.


    Johnny Tapia, already been said but I could see that being a oscar worthy flick.

    Maybe Prince Naseem Hamed would be a good story twenty years from now.

    Gerald Mcclellan maybe.
