And, don't forget Actor Tony Danza. Tony had amateur and pro fights.
I believe Harry Connick Jr. also had amateur fights and trained with Hector
Roca at Gleason's in Brooklyn.

How about Victor McLaglen, the Irish character actor who co-starred with
John Wayne in "The Quiet Man"? Ninety years ago, he fought to a six
round ND with Jack Johnson.

Bob fought as an amateur under the name Packy East. I don't think he was
very good. That's where he got his punched-in nose.

Has doghouse been able to locate a 'being' not necessarily human (but
anthropomorphic) who has actually viewed one of JC's cinematic

Well in Di Niro's case...if sparring for two months is all you
need...then add Brad Pitt to this list. Yeah...Brad Pitt is coming out
with a movie about a Secret Society (fight movie). YES THE Secret
Society. Brad Pitt plays the role of Chee. This I ain't making up.
Also I saw Denzel Washington is playing the Rubin Carter story.

Add to the list Mickey Rourke, and Daniel Day Lewis who by all accounts
should have been a boxer if his form in making 'The Boxer' is anything
to go by.

Yeah Ron...this is the link that Paul Dalrymple gave me. I believe this
page goes rather in depth over it. Can you believe they aren't paying
me anything for this story. That pisses me off. Well atleast they got
one of Hollywoods best looking men to play me. I was sure they were
going to cast Antoniop Banderas or Wil Smith as Chee.

yeah..and who now fronts INXS.
HA!
Wot a joke!
Also, Errol Flynn was a boxer, apart from being a great actor and a
descendent of Fletcher Christian.
During an episode in Flynn's crazy life, when he stepped on Victor Jory's
toes, (a fellow actor) Errol asked Jory to step outside. As they walked into
the garden, Errol said, "I think I should be fair to you. I should tell you
I boxed as a light heavyweight on the Irish Olympic Team."
Jory was unimpressed by the picturesque lie. He said, "Well, get your ass
out on the lawn coz I'm British Columbia light heavyweight champ, and the
Army champ for the Western States. Let's find out about you."
He did quickly. Jory was by far the better boxer.
He smashed Errol to his knees.

That would be strange indeed, as I believe that Errol was in fact a
