I've always wondered which exact punch it was shot in the movie... :dontknow:Quote:

I'd say that although he was the hardest punching actor he was nothing in comparison to Morrisson and even Tarver.Quote:

Yeah, I remember him on Arsenio saying he got a full scholarship to MIT. Jeesh, why not go for the trifecta and tell me he's got a huge schlonger and he's cramming my wife?Quote:

He's no boxer though:)
Yeah, but by the time they filmed the last one no way was Stallone letting someone hit him for real. That house of cards would come tumbling right down. If Tarver hit him for real Stallone would need a colostomy bag. And the Morrison fight, if I'm not mistaken, was brief.Quote:

Hell no, Stallone wasn't taking any punishment from a real boxer!Quote:

I heard he was asked to spar SRL before the Contender II as a gimmick and he chose not to.
SRL would have made him look very sloppy. As sloppy as Hector Camacho made him look.

Hmmm... I wonder why? ;D Leonard still keeps extremely fit. This is the reason he was able to make those comeback fights... A sparing session with Stalone would take Rocky's PR people ten years to clean up and by then he'll be 70;D
Leonard's walking around below 160 and in the gym regularly.Quote:

not pumping weights like Stallone, he's hitting the bag and going through the motions still. He'd give any new up and comer problems!!!!
It was probably easier during the Tommy Gunn fight because they had clothes on. He could have worn protection, especially under that jacket.Quote:

Ah I was exaggerating. I'll admit.Quote:

But then again if Jeff Fenech and Azumah Nelson.....I'll shut up now.
One thing you have to remember though about IV. Because of the idea that Drago was super human, Stallone wanted to make the fight scenes more realistic and he actually wanted to be hit hard to make it more realistic. All the guys could probably hit relatively well, but if Stallone was telling Lundgren specifically to hit him harder, there you go.Quote:

It really should have been written more like Rocky III, where he's dodging most of the punches.Quote:
