[Sonny Liston]

I know that there was a TELEMOVIE with some guy called Michael Jai White about Mike Tyson in the mid 90s... but if they were to ever make a feature length major motion picture about the life and times of Mike Tyson... who would you have playing the role of Mike Tyson (and don't say Tyson 'himself')?

Ving Rhames

 

[Sonny Liston]

Ving Rhames

Wouldn't he be a little bit too old? He is something like 5 years older than The Real Mike Tyson. What about Derek Luke?

 

[AmVhon]

Naw.. I think Val Kilmer would be perfect

 

[TommyGunn]

there's one being made this year starring jamie foxx.

there's one being made this year starring jamie foxx.

Really? He'd have to gain a hell of a lot of pounds for that kind of role!!! I always thought Jamie Foxx was nothing... how many good films did he make before Collateral? That movie "RAY" was overrated... and Jarhead... Yeah... that was good... mainly thanks to Jake Gyllenhaal! But yeah... Jamie Foxx as Mike Tyson could work but like I said a lot of Pounds to gain!:cheeky4:

 

[TommyGunn]

my cousin's a huge tyson fan, it was him who told me but i thought foxx was to small also but he said he looked big in miami vice?????:dunno:

 

[Sonny Liston]

Well Jamie Foxx is around 5'10"/5'10 and a half inches tall... that's about half an inch or so off of Tyson... just needs to get stocky! Real stocky!:cheeky4:

 

[TommyGunn]

i agree but if will smith could pull ali off so well i think foxx could do tyson.

vingh rhames could have worked.

 

[Sonny Liston]

What about Mekhi Pfifer (I think that's how you spell it) or one of those Epps brothers? HOW ABOUT MOS DEF?

 

[Kameleon]

Vinhng Rhames would be good but Foxx is a way better actor.

 

[TommyGunn]

i wonder who will play don king. haha.

 

[TommyGunn]

maybe samuel l jackson.

 

[Kameleon]

James Earl Jones as Don King? :dunno:

 

[Sonny Liston]

James Earl Jones as Don King? :dunno:

Why not the guy who played as Don King in that movie about Muhammad Ali?

 

[TommyGunn]

yeah he nailed don and looks the same.
