not sure if this is the right area for a thread like this but if it isnt let me know.

who would be a good actor to play marciano?

I would personally like to see mark ruffalo. hes a great actor, hes italian, and he used to wrestle in high schoold so he might be used to the physical demands of such a role.

any other ideas?

I dont think anyone could really do Marciano justice. Same with Will Smith playing Ali, how on earth they managed to make a movie about one of the most entertaining men in history and make a two hour borathon is beyond me.

maybe will smith would so better as marciano...

....and morgan freeman is about the right age to play some of rocky's opponents.

Maybe if Bruce Lee was still alive...

Joe Mesi could give it a go (switch to orthodox mind), at least he was a boxer. I was thinking of the Sopranos guy initially but he's a bit of a fatty DD

Lawrence Tauasa

Whatever happen to Mesi ? Undefeated as late as 2004, why he stop fighting ? Eye injury or other type of injury ? anyone know.

Troo Dat!

Wouldn't Stallone (circa first Rocky film) be a reasonable choice?

I'm saying reasonable, not perfect.
