Sad day - trained two of the most influential heavyweights of all time
Rocky actor Tony Burton dies aged 78 - BBC News
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
he's the dude who slammed his hands on the canvas from outside the ring and shouted Nooooo in slow motion
he was good at that
"Throw in the Damn Towel"
RIP
That's my favourite Duke scene :)
Rocky wouldn't be the same without him, limited but memorable scenes.
I remember him saying something like "lets get rid of this bum and go home early tonight".
Now finish this bum and let's go home
Get it right fool
Get it right fool was Mr T in A team.Quote:

Rocky had lost his eye of the tiger and had to gain it again in the gym.Quote:

you're wrong
in the first they weren't married . In Rocky V she didn't know he was having a street fight and in Rocky Balboa she was dead
So basically you're talking bollocks as per usual
