Stalone wouldnt have used Mike because Mike was known to be a small heavyweight and Stalone would have been smaller

What's the real reason Adrian is not in "Rocky Balboa?" Did Talia Shire get sick of the sequels?

No indeed. Adrian was in the first few drafts of what was then titled "Rocky VI." However, Stallone felt that the film did not have the necessary emotional impact it needed. So, he killed off Adrian and only later revealed the sad news to Talia Shire.
