Ever wondered who would play the roles in a movie version of the video game Mike Tyson's Punch Out? No? Really?
We've been thinking about this our entire lives. After many vicious arguments around the boardroom table, we've assembled an all-star, master cast of the best talent. Some of these guys are too old to box, some of them aren't even actors, but they definitely look like they should be getting the smack down from Little Mac.
Let the body blows begin!
Mike Tysons Punch Out: The Movie
Glass Joe / Owen Wilson
Fortunately, Owen Wilson's nose already has that broken look, saving him hours in the makeup chair.
Von Kaiser / Daniel Day-Lewis
Von Kaiser will drink Little Mac's milkshake. He'll drink it up!
Little Mac / Tom Cruise
We got two words for anyone that thinks Tom Cruise is too old to play the lead in a boxing flick, "Rocky Balboa."
Doc Louis / Reginald Veljohnson
This will be a breakout role for Reginald Veljohnson, perhaps the first time in his film career he won't be playing an affable cop. Maybe we can make him an ex cop.
Piston Honda / Ralph Macchio
Ralph Macchio has been waiting for this role for 20 years.
Don Flamenco / Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler was born to play a flamboyant Spanish boxer. It's a lot more believable than him being a football player, anyway.
Great Tiger / Sir Ben Kingsley
Ben Kingsley will bring the same meditative presence to the role of Great Tiger that he did to Gandhi.
King Hippo / George 'The Animal' Steele
Since King Hippo's character is most likely based on George "The Animal" Steele, it seemed like casting him in the movie was a necessary meta-twist, kind of like when Keith Richards showed up in the third "Pirates" film.
Soda Popinski / Bowler Hat Guy
Bowler Hat Guy from "Meet the Robinsons" will be the CGI comic relief that everyone will hate as much as Jar Jar Binks.
Bald Bull / Charles Barkley
Much like Bald Bull, Charles Barkley is beloved by fans both for his prowess and trash talking.

Reginald Veljohnson as Doc Louis? BS!
Check out Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker) from The Office and tell me he wasn't born to play this role!

Tracy Morgan!?!?! No way. Sam Peter, who is a boxer would make a perfect Mr Sandman, Ive always said this. If you don't follow boxing, just google him and you would probably agree.
