trollin OP is trollin

































i'll play along.

did you know Mason Dixon in Rocky is an actual boxer too?!?!? His name is Antonio Tarver

i just became a fan 2 years ago. i was mainly into hockey. ask me ANYTHING about NHL and i know it....trust me

I know absolutely nothing at all about hockey, so I wouldnt even know what to ask you, lol.
Tommy Morrison wasnt the most well known boxer around, although I am surprised you never saw him got KOed by Mercer. thats a pretty well known video, but I recommend the knockout, its pretty brutal.

Theres a lot of cameos and stuff in the Rocky movies. I think they tried to have Joe Frazier or Norton or someone play Clubber Lang, but it was a little too intense in the sparring or something.

James Toney actually played Joe Frazier pretty well in Ali. not necessarily a perfect likeness, but he made a good character.

Tommy also has/had AIDS...

Is this a bait thread or are you really this ******? Do you know ANYTHING about boxing? Or do you just troll 50 diffirent websites all day because you lack self-esteem to go outside and talk to real people? I know your fat but making more useless posts wont lose that weight.

Pretty much sums him up.

yea the 5th was ******. i didnt like how they killed off his wife and had him with a new girl.

and him getting a draw or whatever against the undispited HW Champ at his age is ridiculous lol

nah that was 'Rocky Balboa', or the 6th one.
Rocky 5 was the one with Tommy Gunn in it.

the 6th was OK, you could tell they knew that it was a pretty farfetched idea, although then you look at someone like Foreman who became champ at 45...I have no doubt that was Stallone's inspiration for the movie.

If you watch the behind the scenes stuff, Stallone really did his best in that last movie. I think they actually filmed the fight in the middle of Hopkins-Taylor II, or maybe I...some Hopkins fight. The fake one was probably more entertaining than the title match, lol. and Stallone is actually getting hit...obviously not full power but they actually touch with the punches, they just hold them back at the last second.

but anyways yea it was a little farfetched, but they tried to play it off of because Dixon or Tarver or whatever broke his hand early and plus was out of shape for the fight and so on. it was passably believable, at least in respect to the rest of the films.

Pretty much sums him up.

yea like its one of those movies i dont mind watching but id rather watch the other rocky movies before that one. my cousin hates the one with tommy gun in it lol....she says its the worst one and i use to say its my fav lol. just cuz he goes from famous to poor in a heart beat and its pretty crazy

yea Ali wasnt the best movie. not enough training and fighting. Honestly, thats mostly why I watch boxing movies...its just fun stuff, Im not always expecting to be blown away by an amazingly deep story. I just want a fun time.


Million Dollar Baby is another story though. that might be my favorite boxing movie.
incidently, Lucia Rijker played one of the evil titleholders in the movie, and she was a female boxing champ at one time.
