    As long as they show the Hearns fight I'll go and see the movie.

    I think I had a similar reaction to most when I heard this; "Fantastic - a movie about one of the greatest fighters ever. He was larger-than-life, charismatic - this should be amazing. DeNiro's in it too?!? There's no way this isn't going to be a classic - they'd almost have to try to mess it u ... wait, ... Usher?!?"

    Looking at the cast list it looks like it will just cover up to the SRL fights.

    Damn.


    I guess I would still really like to see it though. Will they do both SRL fights you think?

    I wonder if they'll have him actually say "no mas" in the movie?

    Evidently, Duran never actually said those exact words, but they put it in the movie description. It would be pretty bad if they get it wrong.

    How can they cover Duran's entire career in a 2 hour movie? There's the Buch fight, Dejesus trilogy, basically his entire lightweight career can be done in a movie, then his move up with the Leonard fights, Cuevas, Benitez, Hearns, Hagler, Barkley.. then there's the fights when he was shot as **** going into the 90's with Camacho, Joppy, etc.

    Depends if they want a happy ending or not.

    If it does end with the first fight the final scene should be Duran grabbing his balls and pointing at Benitez.

    Was extremely excited until Gael Garcia Bernal jumped ship and this Rodriguez dude came along.

    Usher as Ray Leonard is unforgivable.
