This is going to piss a lot of people off but....Rocky Balboa. Especially in the first one. Stallone is what 5'9" and was not built at all in that movie and he was supposed to be a heavyweight.
I've heard a few boxers I know go off about how terrible Rocky's boxing is

You don't have to be a boxer to know the fight choreography in that movie is just terrible.

Oh I know it's just funny how serious they take that. It's still a great movie and I can suspend my disbelief enough to still enjoy and be moved by the boxing scenes.

He was supposed to be a terrible boxer.

Young George Foreman was a worse boxer than Rocky, the character, yet he was heavyweight champion of the world.

Speaking of which, Rocky Marciano was a fairly terrible boxer himself. 49-0, b*tches.

Yeah, Rosie (at the time) and Marla Hooch were the best casting decisions made. The rest of those girls didn't play softball - or if they did, it was a sideline to cheerleadering.

As this is April 4 (RIP Dr. King)

Clarence: You know, Sweets, I met Dr. Martin Luther King once.

Sweets: You lyin'. You ain't never met Dr. Martin Luther King.

Clarence: Yeah, I met Dr. Martin Luther King in 1962 in Memphis, Tennessee. I walkin' down the street minding my own business, just walking on. Feelin' good. I walk around the corner, a man walk up, hit me in my chest, right. I fall on the ground, right. And I look up and it's Dr. Martin Luther King. I said 'Dr. King?' and he said 'Ooops, I thought you were some body else.'

Sweets: Oh man, you lyin'. You ain't never met Martin Luther the King.

Clarence: Knocked the wind out of me, yes he did.

Sweets: No, he didn't.

Clarence: Yes, he did.

Sweets: No, he did not!

How about Edward Norton in American History X dribbling up to his head the length of the court while wearing skin tight neo-Nazi pants, and then finishing with a reverse dunk

ETA: shite, someone beat me to it
