Rocky III

[SnoopySmurf]

Heavyweight boxer Ernie Shavers was considered for the role of Clubber Lang. This was because Sylvester Stallone thought that he was good enough to fight a real boxer, instead of an actor. But in a practice fight Shavers, taking it easy on Stallone, broke two of Stallone's ribs in less than three rounds, so he was immediately dropped from consideration for the role.

Bwahahah! Didn't he almost fire Tarver for hitting too hard? He thuoght he "was good enough to fight a real boxer". Right.

I heard he got KNOCKED DA **** OUT by tarver as well. ****ing arrogance of the man - he thought he was good enough to fight Ernie Shavers? I suppose he thinks he can act as well as Marlon Brando too.

I wanna see Paulie versus Norman Stone.

Of course I will be watching Rocky VI, just like everybody on this wonderful forum, but I expect it will be even less realistic than some of the other parts were. A 60 year old man fighting for the title ....

As far as the fight scenes are concerned, I think they better make the matches look more realistic... lol if u looked at the matches in the older movies youll see that Rocky almost never not got hit neither did the guy he was fighting haha. But I agree with you, its hard to believe a 60 year old man would ever step into the ring, **** i was barely able to believe hearns came back at like 46.

In the film he's meant to be 50 but thats still ****ing ridiculous. You know Rocky's gonna win - he's certainly not gonna get hammered into oblivion and stopped early is he - and Mason Dixie (Tarver) is gonna be the best heavyweight champion for years - a real formidable champion - and not one of the **** paper champs ie Chris Byrd lol

[Southpaw Stinger]

Whats the bet that Rocky dies at the end after going the distance with Dixen?

lllllllllllllooollllllllllllllll

[elgaringo]

I can imagine how Stallone would look next to Shavers. He'd hit him on the top of his head and break his ankles

Tarver actually knocked Stallone down and almost out, but Stallone never considered firing him as far as I know. I heard he told Tarver to try to take him out, and Tarver half-heartedly went after him. Stallone is ****ing crazy but awesome.
