Billy Hope, the main character himself is a walking cliche. He's the undefeated light heavyweight champion yet he's never heard of defense. Hope is a face first Brawler. Not to mention he's also the stereotypical impulsive, angry boxer.
Hope's Wife - The concerned girlfriend who doesn't want her husband to box because her idiot husband doesn't know what defense is.
50 cent's character is basically a Don King expy, the sleazy promoter.
Tick - the rough and rugged coach who doesn't want to train the protagonist but eventually comes around.
