Upcoming Netflix film about 1984 US Olympic boxing team starring Jamie Foxx

Netflix Announces Jamie Foxx To Lead ‘Fight For ’84’ On Historic U.S. Olympic Boxing Team

 

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

 

Iversson

 

Who will play Meldrick Taylor? Tank?

 

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)

Gonzalez sure turnt out to be a piece of shit

 

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.

 

Gonzalez did hand Orlando Canizales his first loss. Didn't know he was a Baldomir.

 

I met that guy in vegas too. Didn't know wtf he was but he was telling everyone he was on that 84 team

 

Iverstein.

Pocket Full of Money...In a Brothel....and Still Couldn't Get Laid...

The way he looked at it they couldn't lay him.

 

Clearly, He was Robbed...Corrupt Judging Deprived Him of Otherwise Attainable Pussy...



REED

 

Certainly seems to have been a hugely unfortunate character .....

I hope they put this bit in the movie....

 

Split decision.

 

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 ....

 

Otherwise known as a Tragic Mulatto

Jesus Christ....sounds like a Dave Chapelle sketch.....

 

It sounds like a Cher song that went to #1 in the US in 1973.

 

Whittaker never struck me as the type of guy who ragged on other guys for not having a medal.

 

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.

 

Wait....Cher is made out of black plastic AND white plastic?

 

It was the alcohol and cocaine talking.

 

Crazy how getting rid of the best competition can lead to good results.

 

You're just bitter that you didn't take advantage of McDonald's promotion.

 

agREED...

Having No Russians & No Cubans CLEARLY Impacted the Gold Medal Count...Instead of 9, the U.S. ONLY Wins 7 or 8...
