    I can't believe no one's said George Foreman yet.

    But on the other hand, even casual boxing fans probably know everything there is to know about George's life. A movie might just be overkill.

    there must be a biopic done on Jack Johnson. The **** that he went through at the turn of the century must be seen by everyone.

    If i'm not mistaken, there is a film based (maybe loosely?)on his life. Quite a remarkable saga.

    Kassim Ouma
    Bernard Hopkins
    George Foreman
    Sonny Liston

    I hope Spike Lee delivers with the Joe Louis movie.

    The Great White Hope.

    I think his name is Jack Jefferson in the movie and he's played by James Earl Jones.

    Thank you THANK YOU. After all the crap Hollywood finally decides to make a decent movie.

    Well first movie I will be going to watch 5 minutes after it opens since Rocky 6. CAN'T WAIT.

    YEAH, I'D LOVE THAT!!!! But what can we do. Instead Hollywood puts on crap like the DATE movie or or the EPIC or whatever.

    I would seriously love that. Hell I'd write a biography about both of those tough mofos is I could interview them,

    I wouldn't mind seeing a movie on George Chuvalo.

    Mickey Rourke in his younger years would've been perfect for the part.. you know.. minus the plastic surgery.

    **** yeah man - best read ever

    the parts with him on drugs and being a stand over man would be hectic - then turning his life around and getting a shot at the world title? forget about it! who would be good to play briggsy though?

    Andrew Golota. Would love to get inside that head, especially with the legal problems in his past as well as the fights he's lost.
