Did you know: Tommy Gun from ROCKY is an actual boxer?

[kadyo's]

Tommy also has/had AIDS...

I heard about this ten years ago and it was only recently when I read in an article that this wasn't true.

If I remember right, tommy was a good prospect during the time he appeared in rocky. It was well known during that time that he was a heavyweight fighter. That appearance in rocky helped propelled his boxing career but never got to win the more recognizable belts during that time, he won the WBO HW title which was looked downed to during that era.

Plus, that film Ali, starring Will Smith....based on a true story!

LOL...........................................

Was it based on Chuck Wepner?

What ever happened to the day when newbs simply sat back,kept their gobs shut and learned along the way? These disgusting,vile newbs watch a mainstream boxing match then come here and start post whoring and bringing these boxing forums down to their level.


I can only assume these are the pro wrestling/MMGAY type fans that fit this stereotype.These people couldn't tell a damn thing about the sport if it happened over five years ago.



Pampered,North American poofters - who've never worked a day in their life - and still living at home with their mum and dad supporting them and their every move.





Get the f^ck off this forum,you tilt.

For the record, that wasn't the real Don King in Rocky 5, but it was sure a damn good characterization of him.

Is it true that Paul Kariya is a moonlighting Keanu Reeves on the juice?

Go back to off-topic where you belong. Even the casual fans should know who Tommy Morrison is.
