    Me and my brotehr were talking the otehr day about the final rocky - we thought it would have been a better ending if Rocky had died in the ring.... even if he died in the ring, moments after winning???

    I reckon Mason Dixon (is that the name of the opponent in Rocky 6?) is the worst opponant out of all the films....although he fights the most realistically -(obviously because he's a real life fighter). Theres nothing really in his character.
    They thought about using Brock Lesnar alot and they claim they came really close to using him due to his character look. And that he didnt look bad in the ring either. That would of been somewhat wierd.

        Yes, but him being in the worst shape of his career and Rocky being at his best shape, along with him breaking his hand is what made it somewhat realistic that Rocky could be competitive in the fight.

          Are we counting Rocky V though? I usually don't count Rocky V but I'm just checking...

            The original ending is better. Having him lose was the right thing I thought.

              I agree, the ending they chose was better. It was like the first Rocky, he cares more about proving a point in showing he can compete rather than winning the fight.

              Mason was the weakest villain, but that's the way the character was written. He wasn't supposed to be a "bad guy", just the opponent.

              Clubber Lang was the best villain of the series.

                That was cheesy, it would have been better if he won. But the way they did it ****** ass, and still philadephia's number 1 champion... It just all seemed like really bad acting. I don't know, Rocky Balboa to me was like the worst rocky movie ever since it seemed like everyone who played a part in it were terrible actors.

                  Dude looks like a monster, he would have been better to watch in the ring. I still think Tarver looked scrawny compared to rocky.
