'Rocky 6' Competition Found?

Seems things may be moving quite quickly.

Thanks to ComingSoon.net we have been pointed in the direction of boxing site BoxingTalk.com where they claim to have the 411 on who may be playing Rocky's competition in the recently announced Rocky VI.

In the film, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is lonely and at loose ends, which motivates him to come 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.

To see who maybe playing Mason check out the snippet below:

Moments ago light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver informed Boxingtalk.com that his epresentatives are in the final stages of negotiations for a deal that would land Tarver the role of Mason Dixon in the eagerly anticipated Rocky 6, which begins filiming shortly. Syvelester Stallone will play Rocky Balboa, and Tarver will co-star as heavyweight champion Mason Dixon.

Shooting on Rocky VI is scheduled to begin in December in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

They are naming this guy Mason Dixon? Who thought that up? Was the name Ulysses S Grant already taken?
