    Default Rocky Movies

    All of us have watched the Rocky movies so which fights have you seen in reality which were closest to the fights in the movies for instance most people know that Sylvester got the idea from Rocky from Ali v Chuvalo.

    Bayonne Bleeder Chuck Wepner's challenge of Ali was the inspiration for Rocky. And Stallone did take quite a bit from Smokin' Joe Frazier like fighting out of Philadelphia, running the stairs at the museum, and punching sides of beef as Joe did when he worked in a slaughter house.

    I think the Gatti-Ward fights were the most like the Rocky scenes. Guys getting hit so much and still fighting back that it was unbelievable.

    Rocky III came out in 1982, and they created a monster of a fighter in Clubberlang.
    When Iron Mike Tyson turned pro a few years later in 1985, and was demolishing Heavyweights in 1986, he was way more intimidating than Clubberlang, his fights were more destructive than Mr.T's screen fights. It's amazing because it was so real and so riveting, not a choreographed film-fight.

    Rocky is just like Audley Harrison. A guy who didn't do much fighting less opposition that would eventually go on to win the Heavyweight Championship of the world. I know Audley just retired, but if he unretires, 2014 will be his year and he will be just like Rocky. It's destiny!

    Rocky 4 was a bit like Nigel Benn v Gerald McClellan with the knock down and coming back to stop him in the later rounds as he would not have got the points decision.

    If you'll recall, Apollo Creed was having a gay ol' time playing fetch in his pool with his dogs. He was enjoying retirement.

    But, then....

    He saw on his TV (in the pool) that there was this big intimidating Russian destroying opponents and he decided he'd throw his hat in the ring to see if he's still got it.

    Cue Holyfield vs. Sultan Ibragimov !!!!!!!


    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
