      Excellent write up....couldn't agree more. Balboa is easily in the top 3 of the series; it got back to what made the first one a classic.


      On a side note, here's to hoping Rambo died or retired. I don't want to see John Rambo fighting insurgents.

          Yeah I don't think it would have been accurate to have a fifty something year old man jawing at the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. Rocky's character was beyond that at this point. When he told him at the end, "You're a great champion, thansk for the opportunity," he was grateful to have been given the chance to feel relevant again to himself. I think they did it very well in as much as they made sure that Tarver hurt his hand and that gave Rocky the opening. To have gone another way would have been pushing it. This is the movies, but I am glad they went more real with it instead of thinking that Blaboa was fighter's kryptonite and that he could kick ass in any era as long as that music was playing in the background.
