Alrirght they!I heard about that as well.I heard about it about a year ago but like you mentioned there has been no more futher news about it.Nicky "IRISH"Ward was a great fighter as well.Mark Wahlberg should play a gud part as him.He looks similar in features.Raging Bull is another great boxing film depicting the life of Jake Laymota.Who else could there be in the great game of boxing to make a film on?.....ROCKY MARCIANO has to be one if there have'nt already have!
