I'd hate to see a movie having a negative effect on the legacy of the greatest fighter of the modern age. If the movie's ****,boxing fans won't let it worry them.Just not sure a movie starring Usher as Ray would be a great idea. They should get young Floyd Mayweather to play him.
oh for **** sakes! How they gonna get a soft muther****er like Usher to play SRL???? Duko looks nothin like him either.
Usher looks like a ninja turtle to me! Plus Ray back in the day had a lil Afro going hows he going to pull that off.
So Usher is being cast as SRL in a movie about Roberto Duran? I hope they let whoever plays Duran actually beat the **** out of him like they did with Will Smith taking real punches in Ali. And then they stop after the first fight and flash the epilogue info. Roll Credits.
how long does it take for these movies to come out? we heard about Jamie Fox as Mike Tyson, but that just went missing
Stallone don't look like Chuck Wepner.:yep I very much doubt young Floyd would play someone who he clearly considers inferior to him.:think It was said in jest.
