Rocky 1 and 2 had a shadow boxing style. On the Rocky DVD special features, it has the director John G. Avildsen speak about how they got the fighting down pat, and he even has film of when they were practicing.
Rocky 3 I'm not sure of. I know for Rocky 4 he let himself get hit for real a few times, and he got pretty messed up by it.
hmm
I disagree. Not to say it was great, but the role was small and simple and he certainly wasn't bad. I will see Rocky and give Tarver a chance. I think he has a chance to be good actually, but we'll see.
Scap's been ironic for a while. You just now noticin this?
Not even Wlad getting knocked out or knock down for the 10th time? I'd rather see Wlad get knocked out again, maybe HBO execs would stop hyping the doo.
Fly you need to understand that your not very smart-the less you post the better your gonna look.

I hope he is committed to fighting at HW-there is nothing I would rather see then Tarver laid out from 1 good-big-hard-right-hand!
hmm
How's noting that a large man like Tarver with KO power Koing an old Roy an excuse?
Tarver is huge, that's the point. Super tall and huge for a 175 fighter. The dude did fight Jirov after all in the olympics, who was a career cruiserweight. Jones started at 154 lbs. I said what I said cuz someone had to be a smartass and compare Roy's chin to Stallone's anyway.
Tarver makes his boxing and acting career off of beating old fighters who used to be great. Next on the list is Tyson...lol.
Damn...people don't realize how much bigger Tarver is than RJJ. That just shows how great RJJ was to fight huge guys like that in his career. Roy without bulking up could've fought at 160-168 his whole career.
Tarver is nothing without Roy. Obviously Tarver is committed to fighting at heavyweight. He's making a mistake.

Tarver looks good at HWT, from the angle you can see in that pic anyhow. Btw what Scap said is a joke and if you didn't realize that your high. Hes just making fun of how Tarver fought Roy in the third match. Anyhow it would make my day if....Tarver KO's balboa and than we have Mason I, II, II, IV, and in V he retires and trains James Toney and then they get in a street fight in an alleyway at night....I think it would be cool....
That's barbershop talk/rumor AS USUAL from Scap.
You dont even go to the same barbershop that I do, so watch it son!
Ya know Manny 1 minute your throwing some pretty choice shit my way pwnin me right up the ass, the next minute you are puttin the smack down on me with rich ass lines...would you lay off me Im sick of being pwned all the fucking time-my brother goes on these forums from time to time-do you know how you make me look?
These are not rumors and when Tarver is scratched in favor of Blood Green or Iran Barkley you are gonna see.

I have heard filming has been pretty piss poor so far and Tarver may have been the wrong choice!
Tarver has been lethargic and has thrown very few punches-they have called in Buddy McGirt to see if they cant get Tarver to be more active against Balboa-the director has been unable to convince Tarver that this is a film and not the real thing-Tarver responded by saying "regardless if it is Rocky or roy Jones Im gonna fight my fight".
It would appear that Tarver will lose the first fight to balboa and then gear up for a remtach...however there have also been a few rumblings about bringing in Iran Barkley who has been obsesssed with the Rocky Series ever since he was a kid, Iran was to make a few statements regaarding the rumors but unfortunately none of the words could be understood?
Another report that came in late last night had representation for Mitch "Blood" Green lobbying for a tryout...I will keep everyone posted-Tarver has created a real rats nest-hopefully Barkley or Green can pull this movie out of the fire!
Where did you hear all this? :confused:
I heard eubank wanted some action in this film, you should try and make it hapen juyjuy, i heard stallone likes back rubs and *other* types of rubs lol
Ha Ha Ha..
Watch it Juuj!
I dont pretend to speak for Barkley or Blood but what I say is true-dont make me put up a link asshole-I will do it.
Oh-another report has Michael Bent now getting into the mix as well, cant wait to see how this all shakes out!
