    Rocky wouldn't be the same without him, limited but memorable scenes.

    There was also a scene with him running some old decrepit, filthy boxing gym filled with hoodlums and pimps. Apollo had taken Rocky to that dump to train after Rocko lost to Clubber Lang.

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

    It was a proper gym for the hungry fighters that was the idea. It was meant to be like it was.

    Exactly. I don't think filthy conditions make you any more a hungrier fighter than training in more modern facilities.

    Rocky regained his eye of the tiger on sunny beach in California after his candid conversation with his wife. Had nothing to do with that cesspool of a boxing gym.

    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
