    no complaints here, although, and like it's said for many roles when you first hear about them, do you think Terrance Howard is big enough to play Joe Louis (literal-size wise, not star-wise)?

            A while back they were talking about Vin Diesel for the role. I was seriously concerned. I'm glad they are finally getting someone with acting talent to do Louis justice.

            I wonder what the word is on the Sonny Liston biopic?

              talent before bulk i agree, the bulk can be added but with the rock and vin diesel talent is scarce, terrence has more acting talent than those two combined
