I think it was Chuck Wepner's wife said, "You don't enter a jalopy in the Indy 500."

That was her thoughts on the big fight.

Chuck also credited her with the punch line, in the 'sleeping with the champ' anecdote.

I see clear analogs between Frazier and Rocky and Apollo and Ali...

Rocky is a punch bag who can barely even box and Apollo is too useless to keep him away.

LOL

The story is that Chuck said tonight you will be sleeping with the heavyweight champion of the world and when he lost she said "Do I go to his place or is he coming here?"

Wepner
told his wife that she'd be sleeping with the Heavyweight Champion of the World the night after the fight. When he arrived back at his room, all swollen and beaten up, she greeted him with,
"So, when does Muhammad get here, then?"

True story

Actually I mentioned it first, but thought it a bit cliché to go into detail!

From all the quotes attributed to his wife, she sounds like a smart cookie. Wonder what the attraction was to a dopey fat Irishman fighter?

You were wrong.

You told the story better than me.

Who was this guy supposed to be?

[bradlee180]

Don King without the hair.

Just accept Rocky for what it is

But forget Rocky V

Rocky 5 was probably the best episode really. It was the most realistic by FAR and had plenty of action and feeling in it.

4 was the most dramatic and epic of course.

Other than that 1 and 3 were good too.

On the down slide, Rocky 2 was an absolute joke, so ridiculous, so boring with perhaps the worst montage and actual fight of the entire series, could possibly have ended the whole franchise there were it not for the high quality and excitement by comparison of Rocky 3.

As for Rocky Balboa, disgusting and a low point for modern movies in general that Sylvester actually made such a drip movie about a 60 year old fighter that challenges the HW champ of the world, almost successfully!

There's almost like some code among nostalgists that the shitter the Rocky movie, the better it is to be held in esteem. Quite similarly to nostalgists views of boxers too
