Will Smith did a pretty damn good job in the Ali movie....he had to train like a dog for months and worked with boxing coaches to make some effort to approximate the style of the greatest fighter in the history of the sport. Suffice it to say when he was done he was in good physical condition and his right hand probably picked up some serious steam compared to what it had before that.
Chris Rock on the other hand is no physical specimen by any stretch of the imagination. I don't say that he is not physically capable but the physical match up between the two just does not exist. Smith is a pretty good sized guy...Chris Rock has always been a bit on the diminutive side....
So when the Neanderthal urges kicked in the other night ( trust me I get it...have some sympathy for Smith here ) Smith didn't have to do too much pre-calculating to determine that he could most likely do what he did with impunity.... Rock was never any danger to strike back. He could mount the stage and do the MAN WAL:K over to Chris without even a second's thought as to whether or not he would dominate the situation.
So you have to wonder if it would all be the same if it was Mike Tyson up on the Stage doing the Stand up....whaddya think? Personally I don't know one way or another.... I'm thinking that Smith would still get away with it because Tyson would be afraid to kill him with one punch....but then again who knows?
