Joe Frazier
Hollywood is in the midst of producing a film on the life of Muhammad Ali, with Will Smith in the lead role and boxer James Toney as Joe Frazier.

We weren't sure the movie's producers hit all of the casting choices on the nose, so we solicited ideas from Page 2 readers for better candidates.

We've narrowed down your suggestions for five key roles. Now we're asking Page 2 readers to choose among these picks and Hollywood's picks.

Vote at left for whom you think should portray Frazier. Check back Monday when we'll reveal who the winners are.

James Toney

Hollywood's choice.

DMX

He is a better rapper than Mr. JiggyPants and would whoop him mano a mano.
-- Rodney, Homestead, Fla.

Samuel L. Jackson

Joe Frazier is Sam Jackson with hair. Mr. Jackson is so damn talented, he'd do the right thing.
-- Brian Yang, New York

Roy Jones Jr.

Once again fails in an alternate career. Therefore must actually fight someone.
-- Tavis Burns, Springfield, Vt.

Ray Lewis

He looks just like him.
-- Jake, Findlay, Ohio

Wesley Snipes

Great actors for great roles. I've never even heard of James Toney.
-- Josh Benton, Gainesville, Fla.
