I think Foxx is the only one who can bring Mike’s larger than life personality to the screen. If you put a light weight in a heavy weights shoes they will look empty. Only Jordan came close to the worldwide celebrity that Tyson had at his peak. This will be one of the best films of it’s kind ever due to it being about Tyson, with Foxx doing the heavy lifting. A++

I think it’s a mistake as well. Mike Tyson can not be potrayed by anyone without it being a “joke”. HOnestly, no one should play Mike especially after the film ‘Tyson’ came out. Mike being himself can not be topped.

This will be an epic FAIL. First, Michael Jai White already played the lead in the HB0 interpretation of Tyson’s biopic. Plus, Jamie Foxx can’t play everybody. If we don’t stop his ego now, he’ll be trying to play Angela Bassett in “How Anna Mae Bullock Got Her Groove Back..After Ike Died”. Pardon the bad joke, but I think somebody else should play Mike. Real talk. Too many unemployed actors out there for us to keep using the B.S. excuse that you need a big name actor to sell certain movies. *BUZZER* You need a good marketing team and those big name actors to play good supporting roles.

Lol! To bad Paul Winfield passed away he would have been perfect.

I think the film will do well. Of course Jamie would need to bulk up a bit more but he’s got the talent to pull it off. I wonder if they’ll get T-Pain to play Don King? LOL

His impersonation skills matched with his increasing acting ability will make this pretty good. Will be interesting to see it matched against Ali.

Jamie gets so deep into his characters this will definitely be a hit if produced right.
