Not a bad film but i wish they would of included the Leah Betts thing, where that girl died at Tony Tucker's club or something. Because supposedly her dad was an ex copper, so that might of had something to do with there deaths, and even if it didn't it would of been good to include it.
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
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.

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?
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.
