    There's any fight like Rocky Balboa's fight, when someone get crushed and still come back to win the fight?

    Rocky 3 is the best Rock. Showed the Fall and rise of a champion. Where back to the basics come into play!

        A lot of people forget, Rocky lost the first fight by decision. The idea was he was bum who had no chance in the ring with the champ, but managed to go the distance. The rest of the movies were more formulaic with him winning.

          It's the movies and completely unrealistic. No, if someone took the kind of beating Rocky so often did in his wins, they would be dead. Sometimes a round lasts 40 seconds and sometimes a round lasts 10 minutes. Sometimes a fighter is counted out in 8 seconds and other times Rocky is down for almost a minute and still beats the count. They don't even try to keep it real. Those movies did help make boxing more popular though.

              To be fair, I've seen rounds last 2 minutes and 4 minutes in real life

                Chavez Sr. vs. Meldrick Taylor, Bobby Chacon vs Cornelius Boza Edwards II, Joe Louis vs. Billy Conn I are the first that comes to mind.
