Rocky Balboa - When was his peak?

[Primo Carnera]

For the rematch with Lang, Balboa was at his peak. Leaner and faster. He has so slimmed down he looked like a middleweight.

He bulked up a bit more for Drago and though not as fast that night his chin was incredible. 86 Tyson would not have stopped him even with a free punch. Fact.

Agreed . He was at his absolute peak for the rematch with Lang. Mickey would’ve been looking down with pride seeing his “greasy fast Eyetalian speed!”
I wonder if after that fight whether Balboa got offered to go on dancing with stars?
