Foxx is terrible to play Tyson.

1. He can't get the same physique as Tyson even if he did serious steroids. Tyson was very stocky in a muscular way.

2. Foxx is just a year younger than Tyson. How the hell is he going to play Tyson in his early 20s? I know they're talking about aging technology but that just means CGI and for sports scenes that's a recipe for bad.

3. Foxx has never played a character like Tyson and I personally don't think he's that versatile to do it.

Yes, and Tyson has a huge neck, and head, thats something steroids can never achieve.. Michael jai White did the best job
I don't think the new tyson movie is even going forward.

Hes a damn sight closer to Tyson than Will Smith was to Cassius Clay. He'll do just fine.
