    George did have a biopic and the horrible little 5h1t who produced it went and acquired the copyright to Foreman's first fight with Frazier. Specifically, he obtained copyright over Howard Cosell's commentary of that fight, just so he could use "Down goes Frazier" in his film. For the life of me I can't understand how someone can just buy the rights to someone else's commentary in a production they had no involvement in.

    I had to look up Omar Sy and after reading his Wikipedia I watched a video of him on Jimmy Kimmel's show. Yeah, he definitely looks the part. He looks big, graceful and athletic. His French/Afro-Caribbean dialect might be off-putting but maybe with a speech coach he could approximate Johnson's way of talking. Good casting, Fogger!

    I don't think any actor who ever lived could convey Liston's physicality and menace. He was one of a kind.

    Thank you. Yeah, actors act. I have no doubt he could get the voice inflections. Now we just have to get some investors for the movie. LOL
