Tommy Morrison did well in Rocky 5(A good movie that gets crapped on because it's not as good as the previous classics in the franchise). He had to show a lot of character development, a tough task for a boxer doing his first acting gig. He played the hungry young fighter wanting an opportunity, the gullible kid easily misled by dark forces, and finally going off the rails and betraying the man who made him.

Corey Wallace did a damn good take on Joe Louis.

[Willie Pep 229]

Tony Danza (Tony Banta) Taxi

Archie Moore (Jim) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

[BattlingNelson]

Max Baer and Joe Walcott starred in the Bogart classic the harder they fall.

Randall Cobb actually had a decent acting career.

Jack Palance was a light heavyweight before he was an actor. Not particularly well known as a fighter though.

Curtis Cokes had a small role in Fat City. Did pretty good.

Vito Antuofermo had several small roles in movies and The Sopranos.
