In the past we had De Niro as LaMotta,John Favreau as Rocky Marciano,James Earl Jones as Jack Johnson and so on. Mark Wahlberg is gonna be playing Micky Ward which is kind of fucked because they don't really resemble eachother. Anyway, here it goes.
Jamie Foxx as Floyd Mayweather
John Leguizamo as Arturo Gatti, actually Mark Wahlberg kind of looks like Gatti too.
Let's hear some
The truth of the matter is, nobody on this planet born before or after Louis, looks like Louis! (he had jowls like permanent mumps.) The point is, actors need not resemble the real-life characters they play. The closest a casting director can hope to get to the real person is a general facial or body type. If filmmakers depended upon clones of real-life characters, movies of the genre would never get made...
In "The Untouchables," does DeNiro resemble Capone?
cuban gooding jr kinda looks like joe louis
Brad Pitt plays Rock Newman. Pitt too small to play a boxer.
Didn't you see Brad Pitt in Snatch and Fight Club, he plays a badass boxer in both movies and he does a phenomenol job. He also boxes as a hobby outside of acting.
We can get a Pinoy Sewer Rat to play Pacquiao, or we can get the Sewer Rat that is supposed to potray Naz in his upcoming flick to play PacMan. PacMan can join Naz in a London Sewer when he retires.
I like the Columbus Short as PBF
Also... Wilmer Valderama as DLH
I more than agree with both of these. LOL.
And, Jamie Foxx can play Mayweather Sr.
Mayweather Sr. cut his hair so he can not play the Predator anymore.
Mario Lopez could play Fernando Vargas or any Hispanic boxer. I think he boxes anyway to stay in shape.
Mario does box. He takes on all comers every friday night at a gym in Hollywood. He's not bad, nothing special.
Floyd Mayweather Sr. would be great in a remake of Predator! :

:headbang:
He is even balding in the middle like the predator, I am starting to think he did that hair do on purpose.
