Jamie has probably been in THE most boxing movies, I swear. My favorite is the role he played in The Great White Hype. He was funnier back in the 90s than he is today.
Heard about this earlier and wondered wtf old ass foxx could possibly be playing. Had to be the coach, dudes almost 60! Then I checked the imdb, one of the writers is andy weiss. Short Jewish guy who used to try to hoop around here and thought he was iverson
That should be good. From memory. 106 -Paul Gonzalez (Gold) 112 -Steve McCrory (Gold) 119 -Robert Shannon 125 -Meldrick Taylor (Gold) 132 -Pernell Whitaker (Gold) 139 -Jerry Page (Gold) 147 -Mark Breland (Gold) 156 -Frank Tate (Gold) 165 -Virgil Hill (Silver) 178 -Evander Holyfield (Bronze) 201 -Henry Tillman (Gold) Super Hwt -Tyrell Biggs (Gold)
Yeah. I heard Gonzalez got arrested for molesting kids at a boxing gym or something like that. Sad shit.
Drunk ass Whitaker didn't recognize his old teammate, Robert Shannon. Then when he did, he had to remind him he was the only one who didn't win a medal.
I met that guy in vegas too. Didn't know wtf he was but he was telling everyone he was on that 84 team
Certainly seems to have been a hugely unfortunate character ..... I hope they put this bit in the movie....
Yep... Especially Back Then, "Mixed" Kids Literally FOUGHT For Acceptance on Both Sides...Not Black Enough, Not White Enough... REED
Seems unfortunate to have to fight both .....it's no wonder he was shot by the time the Olimps rolled around ....
BTW, a baby born to a non Cherokee father and a Cherokee mother is considered Cherokee. A baby born to a Cherokee father and non Cherokee mother is not considered a Cherokee. So Cher was full of shit there though she didn't write that song.
agREED... Having No Russians & No Cubans CLEARLY Impacted the Gold Medal Count...Instead of 9, the U.S. ONLY Wins 7 or 8... REED
