If anyone should get an oscar it is the bloke that plays Pauly, he was good.

Satlone is good in all the scenes aprt from the fight scenes.

After all these years hes still crap at them, any time he gets hit he so overacts it its funny, his whole body will spin round as if he was whacked with a demolition ball but then he quickly faces forward again to carry on where he left off.

His stupid little drunk steps he does as well, basicaly anything he does in the fight scenes is just pathetic, he could really do with a body double for the fight scenes because it spoilt an otherwise good film.

Were Mason Dixons fight clips from real Tarver fights ? they looked more believable than the fight itself.

Other than the crappy fight acting, Tarver as a choice of opponent is bad, hes not intimidating looking, he has no size or muscle tone, although he was a moderatly successfull boxer he doesnt look like a world heavy weight champ let alone a fighter.
