    First Resurrecting the Champ about Bob Satterfield (with Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Harnett).

    The Fighter about the life of Micky Ward (with Mark Whalberg and Matt Damon)

    And another Boxing movie will be coming soon, Roberto Duran (not sure about the title).

    Cruise will need a tan, and Duran already asked Cruised to be in his movie.

    Tom Cruise podría dar vida al legendario boxeador panameño 'Mano de Piedra'

    CIUDAD DE PANAMÁ (OTR/PRESS)
    Tom Cruise podría dar vida al mítico boxeador panameño Roberto Duran, más conocido en el mundo pugilístico como 'Mano de piedra'. O al menos este es el deseo del mítico deportista que aseguró que yale ha comunicado al propio Cruise que su sueño es verse en la gran pantalla encarnado por la ciencióloga estrella de Hollywood. Según afirmó Durán en una entrevista concedida al espacio deportivo 'Estadio W' de la radio panameña, el proyecto ya está en marcha y aseguró que el nombre del protagonista de 'La Guerra de los mundos' y 'Misión Imposible' es el que se bajara para protagonizar su biopic.
    'Ya se está negociando con la casa que producirá la película, apuntó en declaraciones al programa recogidas por OTR/Press, en las que también reveló que las conversaciones 'están muy avanzadas'. 'Mano de piedra', apodo que se ganó por el poder de sus puños, se proclamó por primera vez campeón mundial de los ligeros el 26 de junio de 1972 en Nueva York, al derrotar por K.O. en el decimotercer asalto al escocés Ken Buchanan.

    Después de proclamarse cuatro veces campeón del mundo colgó los guantes en 2001 después de sufrir un grave accidente de tráfico en Argentina, el 4 de octubre de ese año. El récord de 'Mano de Piedra', una de las estrellas del Salón de la Fama del Boxeo Mundial, es increíble, 119 peleas con 103 victorias (70 por KO) y tan solo 16 derrotas. Mucho gimnasio le espera a Cruise si finalmente se decide a dar vida al mítico púgil.

    Holyfield that was in Panama said that Tom will need a nose job, because he has a very big nose

    "Realmente no sé nada de la película; dice que Tom Cruise protagonizará el papel; si es así, tendrá que operarse la nariz porque la tiene muy grande", señaló.

    A Duran movie could be dope I'm not sure if Tom Cruise is the right guy Benicio Del Toro would be better he's latin and can look crazy like how Duran used to in the ring.

    Duran would be great for a movie but I can't say Cruise is the man.

    Bull----! None of these hollywood lib/pansies could play Duran, least of all jump-on -Oprah's-couch Tom Cruise. They should scour Panama or anywhere south of the border for an unknown Latin kid to play Duran. Cruise as Duran is as dumb as that rumored movie back in the 80's or 90's that was to star Mickey Rourke as Carlos Monzon.

    Ditto Benicio Del Toro, tho' it'd be a rough haul to play Duran across the decades. Benicio's weight would need to span at least 10-15 lbs to make it credible. He wouldn't actually need to weigh 135 to play Duran of the 1970s - just matching him up against a similar sized actor/boxer would be good enough - but he'd need to get trimmer than he has been in years.

    A Duran movie has been around 8 years in the making. I first read about it in a newspaper, and still have the cutting of it.

    Cruise is a great actor, so he might be able to pull it off. He'd have to do a LOT of work though. He has the right height. I'd love to train him to make his boxing style look authentic. There are a lot of moves that he'd need to know and to pull off the boxing would be difficult and would require a lot of attention to detail and a lot of work in the gym with him. He'd probably need to watch a lot of footage of Roberto.
