    Ali wasn't a very good movie. It could have been a better mini-series or they should have ended it after Frazier I (but of course they wanted a "happy" ending.

    Tyson (1995) starred Michael Jai White and George C. Scott.

Secondly, Jamie just seems too... nice, I guess is the word. I want somebody who has a little more of an angry presence to play Tyson. I am going to dwell on who I would prefer and then make a suggestion.

          True, but I seen some footage of Jamie Foxx impersonating Mike Tyson, and he was really good at it. Also, the movie will make much more money and get more attention if Jamie Foxx does it, and Mike even said he wants Jamie to play him.

            Where did Mike say this?

            Also, Jamie Foxx would be terrible. It'd be huge no matter who played it, but come on, Foxx? He's too small, and his head is too long. They should get someone who's good, but fairly unknown.

              No, Jamie would be good for this role. Check ******** boxing, they got an interview where Mike said he would love Foxx to play him.

                How is the 5'9" Tyson huge? Foxx is 5'10 1/2". Foxx hits the gym for a couple months, and he'd have Tyson beat as far as muscles go.

                  I hope you're being sarcastic because you don't grow a 20" neck on a 5'10" body in a couple of months.
