    google ving rhames - personally i think hed be a better choice. hes a good actor, for those of you who dont know who im on about hes starred as marcelus in pulp fiction.

    jamie foxx is a good actor but imo he doesn't have the physical body structure to pull off the look, no doubt he is a good actor though.

        Ving Rhames??..he's light-skinned as hell!..and has no Tyson facial structure!..lmao!..

        y'all lookin at the body mass a bit too much!..Jaime Foxx is Bulky..he doesn't show it much..if you don't think watch "Any Given Sunday"..

        Jamie is a great actor and would make it watchable to the general public..which would/could do good for boxing period!...

          Seriously. Jamie Foxx is an all around talented guy but he's made fun of Tyson numerous times. Seeing Foxx play Tyson would remind me too much of this. Fast forward to 2:40.

            Wait...Wait...WAIT A SECOND!!

            1. Ever seen Redemption? Jamie Foxx got HUGE for that role...and Tookie was bigger than Tyson ever was

            2. HBO's version was great, cept the ending where they made it look like Tyson was completely guilty

            3. Isn't there already a new-ish Tyson movie that was played in the independent circuit that got great reviews? What happened to that?

            4. If it is made, which it could very well be...Timeline from Douglass loss to now...HBO did a damn good job from childhood to Douglas loss

            5. What the **** happened to the Sonny Liston movie?!?!?! Where is it? I mean, it's done, so what's the deal?

              He needs to Play Jack Johnson; not Tyson.

              Michael Jai White isn't a great actor, but he trained as a fighter and had the build somewhat near prime Tyson. His head could have enlarged some, but, it was as close as I've seen so far.
              he already played him in a made for TV movie. "Tyson"
