    So who plays old George? You've got to do a time jump and actor switch at some point.

    This looks like it has great potential though. Will definitely watch it with my pops! May have to go back to pandemic-mode for this, just for enjoyment and nostalgia. (Pre-vaccine, my pops and I would sit out back on his deck every Sunday, BBQ, drink whiskey, smoke cigars, and watch old fights via youtube streamed to the TV he had out there).

    That’s a great tradition my friend, you should definitely carry on with that.

    George Tillman Jr. is the director and isn`t very good, he directed Notorious a biopic about Biggie Smalls and it was complete garbage, he is no Scorsese.

    Bad news. Notorious was bad. Typical melodramatic biopic.

    Wish Ving Rhames was younger to play George. They don’t look anything alike but Ving is a very charismatic and good actor.

    Off-topic but what happened to the Tyson one starring Jamie Foxx?

    Khris Davis. Same guy who plays young George, my friend Mike told me the guy had to gain like 30 pounds after filming the young george scenes.

    Well that doesn’t bode well. Most unfortunate. Crossing my fingers for a better film this time around.
