Was Mickey Rourke Any Good

[Trainer Monkey]

I never watched him fight,because I thought it was a sideshow,but I look at who he trained with..............
Was he any good?
Oh,nice quote
You get desensitized to pain and for three and a half years I developed these symptoms of Brain Damage - you forget what you did the night before. You have to get out when the doctors tell you to, otherwise you're on queer street for the rest of your life. One doctor said to me before a big fight, your neurological report doesn't look too good. I was like four fights away from a big, big fight and he said, 'Mickey, how much are they paying you? Look at your tests - you won't be able to count the money'."

[DaxxKahn]

He was good in The Pope Of Greenwich Village....And Great in Rumblefish....

All kidding aside I never seen him fight so can't say....I was pretty much in agreement with you thought of it more as a sideshow

You forgot Barfly,he was great in that
At the time I was thinking "Oh what a joke",now I find out he was training with Toney and Monzon
And one of the greatest exchanges ever in a film
Wanda: I can't stand people, I hate them.
Henry: Oh yeah?
Wanda: Do you hate them?
Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

I have 3 of his fights.
I mean he was a tough as nails...
You know he fought very similar to Hattons style, and was very rugged.
Roach was the 1st to train him as a pro. Roach says that Rourke had a lot of power and when he caught you, you'd feel it.

I also have 2 Tony Danza fights.

LOL I forgot about Barfly....

Thinking about it I think Homeboy may have been the true story of his in ring career lol....


Micky actually grew up about 10 min from me..right outside Albany....or so I read I should say....I have only lived up here a few years...according to Box Rec he resides in Schenectady...a rocks throw from me

From what Ive read about his fights............
Well let me put it this way,I was born in St Vincents Home For Unwed Mothers in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
In a clinch I can hit you in the knot on the back of your head,your kidney,and a couple of places you didnt even know about,and from what Ive heard,he makes me look like a Choirboy at Czetochwa in his best cleaned robe
How did Danza look in his fights,Id almost forgotten he fought

[ross]

Rourke was shiit, look how fake this guy is when pretending to be hurt when he drops, makes De La Hoya look like a trained actor for his performance against Hopkins

[Trainer Monkey]

Ross,thanks for putting that up
The guy didnt take a dive,but what Rourke did is WAY BEYOND dirty,its rolling with the hogs dirty
It was actually so dirty,Im laughing my butt off,because I cant even believe someone would try it,let alone get away with it.

Ali was ringside....

CC Mick,except for him getting wide on shots and leaning out of balance,he was a pretty nice little counter puncher
Go figure

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

He was a good fighter in Bullet,damn good movie.

[AdamGB]

makes De La Hoya look like a trained actor for his performance against Hopkins

Never taken a proper rib shot before have you?...

[BoomBoom]

I love the punch that he kod the guy with. It was a chopping overhand right but he threw it oddly kind of like he was playing hungry-hungry hippo with that guys head. Anyways, he looked like a very old style fighter. His balance was off and he still switched from orthodox to southpaw every five seconds which is kind of strange.

[WelshDevilRob]

He fought nobody's.
