I just saw the Ali movie starring Will Smith. I wasn't too thrilled about it partly because it didnt tell enough about Ali's young life and I also felt that it was cast all wrong with Will Smith. So that got me thinking--Why doesn't Hollywood make another movie about ring legend Big George Foreman. It would be interesting as hell. They could tell when he was a young street thug knocking grown men out, to Olympic heroe, to ring villain against Ali, and finally to his second carreer when he came back and became the oldest man to win the heavyweight title at 45. Here's a few ideas as to who should play him Ving Rames, Micheal Clark Duncan, Tiny Lster Jr. Cast your vote out of these 3 to see who should play him.

George hasn't written the last chapter, he's still considering a comeback. It would be a movie I'd watch.

I know man, I was waiting on that movie too. Ving Rhames even started training with Sugar Ray Leonard for that part. So when they put the liston story on hold Rhames went ahead and starred in Undisputed with Wesley Snipes since he wanted to put the boxing skills to use. I didnt like Undisputed

Undisputed has some good action seens cause snipes is a bad ass(see Blade) but the story is weak. Thanks for the warning on that Meg Ryan movie but unfortunately I already watched it.

George Forman already had a crappy sitcom, he doesn't need a crappy movie.

Rumor has it that there is a movie being made about the life of Vinny "The Pazmanian Devel" Pazienza. Set to play the Pazman: None other than Marky Mark himself, Mark Walberg

they've been talking about that for years. they better hurry and make it before the general public forgets who vinny is--after all he is not as iconic as Foreman or Ali in my humble opinion.

IF a movie comes out about Pazienza, it will be some crappy, low budget direct to video thing, No studio is gonna drop $30,000,000 or more on a movie about a mediocre boxer.

The Meg Ryan movie was based on Jackie Kallen.
From all accounts....it sucked.
