I think tommy did a good job at rocky v. if you didn't know him that much you`d think he was just an actor not actually a real live boxer. he did a great job acting theres no awkward moment when he was acting he made it look natural.
what do you guys think about tarver though?
any other boxer you guys seen act?
Briggs in 'The Transporter'
RJJ in 'The Matrix'
Lennox in 'Oceans'
;D
*Please note that neither fighter had more then one sentence in the movie.
Most people blame Tommy(I thought he did exceptionally well) for Rocky being an bad movie, But the script sucked and Rock's son was just a queer retard.Quote:

tommy did great when he was calling out rocky total bad ass graving for respect.
briggs in the transporter all he did was hold the little kid and look like the muscle head of the group.
lewis and klitschko at oceans, they just fake a fight.
and roy in the matrix, I didn't even know that haha, I think tarver is a better actor. roy has a stiff look not as flexible as tarves character.
toney was dope as joe frazier I think no one could of played that any better then toney. but then again toney was prolly just being toney that's why he did so good.
yea rocky v, did have a bad script rockys son made the movie bad and the whole story about rocky training tommy then tommy turning out to be an ass. the rocky with drago was the best rocky ever. drago made me think he was a real live killing machine I was in fear for that guy my whole boyhood til teen years :'( when he killed appolo he look real scary. that's the kind of thing made the ufc popular fighters with intimidating character.something boxing lost since tyson got whoop. now a days we have businessman as boxer, rarely true fighters warrior mentality
mickey rourke in 'homeboy'. he was an actor but boxed as a kid, then he turned pro, had about 13 fights (i think) then went back to acting. so he was pretty convincing as an actor obviously.
toney was ok in ali. frazier mumbles loads now but wasnt a mumbler back in his day like toney is in ali.
i reckon tommy morrison does a good job in rocky 5. and tarver is good aswell.
i didnt even know roy jones was in the matrix???? which one is he in and where the fuck is he ? (i'll get the dvd out boys)
tyson has a little cameo in rocky 6 having a strop with mason dixon (tarver) from ringside. a convinsing strop i reckon. was this acting or a genuine strop? very convincing. he also has a little cameo in 'play it to the bone'. but he just walks past and doesnt say anything.
RJJ was in The Matrix Reloaded, hes part of the posse....Quote:

nice one fela. i'll blast the dvd out i reckon. ha roy. bless him. his rap song he made cracks me up. ya'll must of forgot!! ha. badass isnt he. ha ha
Yeah, Toney was actually quiet good as Frazier... similar attitude etc so not a lot of it was acting. All RJJ had to do was deliver lines... wasn't really a character there... can't remember him in Devil's Advocote or what ever he was in.Quote:

Lennox lewis didn't even speak in Oceans did he? Just looked confused when the lights went off.
Mike Tyson played himself in Black and white, he had a few scenes and spoke quite a bit too, Mike is pretty eloquantQuote:

When he is screaming 'you ain't the champ' at Tarver... don't think it took to much acting on Mike's part? :P
in oceans eleven it was lewis and wlad klit. they just threw a few punches and then stood there looking confused. wasn't hard really. i remember seing the fight when that scene was filmed. i'm pretty sure it was naz barrera. and during the fight ian darke says lewis is entering the the ring after the fight to shoot the scene blah blah.
I got yo give Tarver his props he did great in Rocky almost better than Stallone. Then Again Stallon "Sly <-- supid nick name" does sucks at acting
Tyson had a hell of a role in "The women of brewster's place" ;D....OK I'll shut up now :-[ :-[
Lennox lewis had a major role in the movie "Johnny Was", his character was a jamaican pirate dj and he wasnt too bad :P
total shite film though....
Roy actually played a major role in the Matrix. But you'd need the video game to get the "real movie" cimatics that didn't go for the theaters but what happened before and during the movie. Roy did a pretty good job.Quote:

"He kept on saying, as he was punching, 'DON'T... YOU... KNOW... I'M... GOD?!!' and I said to him 'Well... God Gonna Get Knocked Out Tonight!" -Joe Frazier about Ali :D
Jack Palance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was the best was old Jack and not a bad fighter.
Lets not forget the Baer in the Beverly Hillbillies ;D
Born Volodymyr Palahnyuk (Ukrainian: Володимир Палагнюк) in the Lattimer Mines section of Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, Palance was of Ukrainian and Polish descent and the son of an anthracite coal miner. He also worked in coal mines during his youth before becoming a boxer.
In the late 1930s, Palance started a professional boxing career. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance reportedly compiled a record of 15 consecutive victories with 12 knockouts before losing a decision to the future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi.

I heard from a friend that Tyson was in this weird documentary movie, maybe it's black and white, and Robert Downey Jr. tries to play a joke on Mike, acting all gay, like he wants to have sex with Mike :-X. Then Mike gets hella pissed and throws him to the ground and cusses him out. Anyone seen this shat? ???
The Old Mongoose in Huckleberry Finn.
ooh yea I seen that yea it was that movie kind of a documentary tyson was in that. he was in prison, that one doode if I remember right was talking to tyson they was giving advice to eachother something like that, but I don't remember about tyson getting piss. maybe I just don't remember but I'm sure that he was in that movie and he was in prison then.Quote:
