Question about Rocky III

[Wayne]

Hell no, Stallone wasn't taking any punishment from a real boxer!

During the filming of "Rocky Balboa" he collapsed on set whilst doing the excercises, he may have been built but he wasn't in any way fit.

I heard he was asked to spar SRL before the Contender II as a gimmick and he chose not to.

Hmmm... I wonder why? Leonard still keeps extremely fit. This is the reason he was able to make those comeback fights... A sparing session with Stalone would take Rocky's PR people ten years to clean up and by then he'll be 70

Leonard's walking around below 160 and in the gym regularly.

not pumping weights like Stallone, he's hitting the bag and going through the motions still. He'd give any new up and comer problems!!!!

Unless that up-and-comer throws haymakers from his hip I doubt it. SRL may be in good shape, but he has 0 reflexes. And where would he run from the pain?
