Boxing in the movies

[Tilt A Whirl]

Rocky-I was a classic 'cause of the storyline. Personally, I never liked Stallone and thought he should've stuck to the First Blood movies. As a fighter, he's laughable. Carl Weathers makes a believable boxer. Stallone just looks like a clown. No style, no rhythm, no moves. Looks like an idiot in the ring. He didn't get much better for Rockys 2 through 6.

He wasnt supposed to look good,the movies are based off of Ali/Wepner,Wepner landed one of the all time lucky shots,because Chuck really did look exactly like you describe Stallone

Wepner, Tex Cobb... there's been a lot of "defense-challenged" fighters in history. But they still have that "boxer's pose". That is, they can throw believable punches 'cause they're professional fighters. Stallone it looks like someone tried to do an intensive crash course on him on how to look like a boxer, and failed miserably. You can play the part of "I'll-take-your-10-punches-to-give-you-one" and still make it halfway believable. Mickey Rourke in the wrestling movie, now there was a believable rendition of an athlete. But Stallone looked like a buffoon out there.
