    Surprised no one has brought up Tex Cobb.









    Besides a bunch of C movies, I remember him in Fletch as the guy in the prison cell who tells Chevy Chase "Bend over," to which Chase's character replies "Ben, please to meet you." Also he was in the first Ace Ventura pic.

    That and Mayweather Jr did a pretty good job in the Hatton fight of hanging there lifeless when Ricky hit the ropes.

      Raising Arizona is classic! My favorite Coen brothers movie.

      Much of Black and White was said to have been improvised. I'm not sure exactly how much of Tyson's parts were improvised. If Mike Tyson put his hands on you, that's a pretty good way to show "natural fear" in your performance.

        ray leonard and tex cobb were both in cameos on married with children.

        archie moore and ray robinson were on what's my line. both were the perfect picture of class, charisma, and wit.

          Ken Norton, Mark Breland, Tex Cobb, Marvin Hagler, Joe Bugner and Gary Stretch who I mentioned on another thread, have all been in films..
          James Toney, Tommy Morrison and Antonio Tarver have all played boxers..
          I'm sure there's plenty more?.. Boxers in funny adverts won't go a miss either?
          Alexis Arguello played a drug lord in an episode of Miami Vice.
          Charles Shufford played George Foreman
          Tony Danza was a boxer before becoming an actor
          George Foreman was the star of an ABC sitcom produced by Danza
          Vito Antoufermo and Marvin Hagler were in several Italian movies

                  Mickey Roarke wasn't a boxer who did acting, he was an actor who did some boxing.
