Rocky 6 casting Light Heavweight Champ?

After much talks about the script and running from one studio to another it seems that Sylvester Stallone finally has all set for the 6th Rocky movie. Production Weekly reports that he will direct and star in "Rocky 6", with filming starting in early December in Los Angeles.

To top that off the victim for Rocky 6 is reportedly going to be played by light heavyweight champ Antonio Tarver. I gotta tell you I can so not suspend belief that Stalone at age 60 is going to kick the crap out of this young scrapper.

According to PW the movie tells the story of the lonely and retired boxer Rocky Balboa who comes out of retirement, intending to fight a few low-profile local fights just to keep his hand in.

But when he's approached to fight a match with reigning heavyweight champ Mason "The Line" Dixon, Rocky's modest little comeback becomes the center of a media firestorm.
