Micky Rouke vs Ray Winstone!

[yvonne]

Hi they folks.With Micky Rouke's new film the "Wrestler" coming out on the big screen and the fact that Micky Rouke once turned his back on staring in films to continue his love on his boxing career,i was wondering who would win if Ray Winstone vs Micky Rouke fight was to be made.Ray Winstone had a good record of 80wins out on 88 fights and is really tough guy especially when he was younger.


Who would win,and how would it go??

I think it would have been a great fight,though really tough to judge the winner though.

Here their both are playing the tough guy image on screen.

I love this scene,great film!It was banned years ago!!

Didn't know Winstone was a boxer. I always thought he'd be a wimp in real life as he's about the same height as Danny De Vito

Yeah,Ray Winstone was a boxer and had a good record(88 fights,80 wins)I dont think he turned pro though,,but i could be wrong.Oh,Ray is a tough especially when he was younger.He liked his fighting!

He was actually going to go to the Olympic trials i believe but his mum didn't want him going, or some silly shit like that it could be all BS though. As for for the orignal question who knows ? i've never seen Ray Winstone fight, i've seen a few Micky Rourke fights and i thought he was crap to be honest, but i do think Ray Winstone is a much better actor

Heres little bit about his boxing carrer Bilbo.

Boxing coach Tony Burns recalls: "I coached Ray until he was about 16.
Once you put the gloves on him, he was very aggressive. That was his style. He always wanted to win so badly. He just went after you, wanted to have a real fight, you know."
Dave Oldwell, 55, boxed with young Ray and went on to carve himself a glittering career in the ring, eventually captaining the British Olympic boxing team in 1976.
"I met him when he came to the gym aged 14," says Dave. "He was always picking the brains of the better fighters, asking whether his jab looked OK or how to balance his feet."

One of my mates was with him at Cass Pennant at Upton Park a couple of weeks ago and going by the photos he aint a Welterweight anymore

Gotta watch Sexy Beast with Big Ray - awesome film!

Going back to the original question,Id have put my money on Rourke,he was a serviceable pro,if not a particularly good one,retiring with 6(4kos)-0 and 2 draws,and was 20-7 with 17 KO's as an ammie,he would have been a great ammie if he hadnt gotten two concussions in a row. The only reason he even became an actor
As far as who's the better actor,Barfly is one of the coolest films ever

Yea but i wouldn't say watch Sexy Beast for Ray Winstone, the main performance is Ben Kingsley he is the only performance worth watching. I did like Ray Winstone in Face im not sure if you've seen that, i did watch that when i was about 10. And i watch it once a year very good film and violent.

Oh come on just because Mickey Rourke was a pro for a brief time means nothing, his opposition was horrible and he even drawed with two of those horrible opponents, any decent boxer would of flattened his opposition. You like to bring up Amateur records well Ray Winstone was 80-8 and had a chance to go into Olympic trials, he was a much better Amateur. And probably would have been a better pro but i'd have to see Ray Winstone fight, but from all accounts he was pretty good, i've seen Mickey Rourke fight and he was pretty bad to be honest.

Ray Boxed mostly for St Georges, seen Him Box a few times. Know Him qiute well, He is a big fan of Boxing. If He had turned Pro He would have done well. Having seen Micky in the gym in Miami, Ray would have had to much for Him.

[Kev]

Are they even in the same weight class though?

I've always assumed Rourke was about 6 ft and 14 stone or something whilst Winstone is 5 ft 4 and when slim would weigh about 10 stone?
