Foxx is actually a brilliant actor. Only issue is the age thing if he's playing a young Mike but with makeup, CGI etc. that shoudn't be too much of an issue.

Maybe. Foxx did a damn good job playing Ray Charles imo. When I watch that movie I see Ray, not Jaime Foxx. Doesn't mean he will do as well or better as Tyson but we'll see.

Jaime is a good actor. He use to do impressions of Mike Tyson back in his comedic days
