    I think Idris Elba looks a lot more like Liston.

    This movie better be good, because I've always considered Liston's personal life to be arguably the most intriguing of any boxer. I have high expectations for this film.

    He does look a bit like Sonny.

    He might have the features, but I think Ving has a better structure (face and body) for Sonny, if you can make sense of that, haha.

    Pictures can be deceptive.

    Seeing him in action will, of course, be the most telling.

    I'm looking forward to it.

    If it goes to the theaters, I'm dragging the old lady along to pay her back for all of the garbage I sat through :deal

    Ving Rhames has played a boxer before so he does have that going for him.

    Yeah, Ving Rhames is a thick, tough looking actor. Their's many worse people that could be playing the role.
