Title: Rock Balboa Post by: Triple X on January 14, 2007, 09:20:18 PM Just in the middle of watching the film.
Apparently his record is 57wins and 23 defeats in his career with 2 times champion Firstly i thought in Rocky 3 he had loads of title defences? Does this stat means he was only world champion twice? Also when did he lose 23 fights? Anyone know how many he lost before he fought Apollo in the first one for the World title shot? Cheers Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: raab11 on January 15, 2007, 01:11:33 AM defending your title doesnt mean you become champ again. he lost it and won it back in 3, hence becoming champ for the 2nd time. we have only seen him lose twice in 1&3 so he must have had 21defeats b4 anyway quality film definitely in my top sixrocky films of all time!! Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: thetank on January 15, 2007, 01:21:43 AM In Rocky 1 he was a washed up old bruiser with his career behind him. Working for a loan shark to make ends meet.
In the storyline, his losses came before that film. Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: raab11 on January 15, 2007, 01:27:15 AM hey tank his whole life was a million to one shot slightly less than my chances of winning the wsop Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: cambo on January 15, 2007, 02:53:34 AM cant believe he suports everton

Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: 77dave on January 15, 2007, 04:54:49 AM true tikay rocky is not a real person
but stallone made a film called throw momma from the train Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: Triple X on January 15, 2007, 09:39:27 AM so he lost 21 fights before Apollo in Rocky 1 and then went on to become one of the greatest heavyweight champions and look unbeatable.
That is pretty impressive. How did he go from zero to hero in such a way. Seems so incredible they should make a film about him!! Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: thetank on January 15, 2007, 09:44:36 AM Over 12 million people a year visit the Philadelphia Art Museum.
Less than 300 a day actually go inside, the rest just climb the stairs. (I made those numbers up, only repeat in a cocktail party setting at your own risk) Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: Gryff on January 15, 2007, 10:22:03 AM Rambo is better than the rocky films.

It's all about chasing the chicken. ;whistle; Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: kinboshi on January 15, 2007, 10:44:08 AM Rambo is better than the rocky films. First Blood is better still. Did anyone hear the Reading fans, when they were 0-1 up against Everton? "Rocky, Rocky, what's the score, Rocky, Rocky tell us the score!"

Rocky III is where he learnt how to box properly and discovered the way of the tiger. Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: Triple X on January 15, 2007, 01:53:15 PM you mean the eye of the tiger!!
Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: Nem on January 15, 2007, 02:26:07 PM I can't believe that people think the Rocky films were any good!
Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: Sark79 on January 15, 2007, 03:04:27 PM I considered trying the raw egg training diet when I was young and into cycling, but in the end decided it was a sure way to get food poisoning.
Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: Triple X on January 15, 2007, 04:24:02 PM I can't believe that people think the Rocky films were any good! Rocky 1-4 were all good 5 & 6 - absolutely atrocious. Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: lazaroonie on January 15, 2007, 05:02:16 PM Rocky 2 is by far the best of the lot.
gonna make you eat thunder and crap lightening...lol Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: The Baron on January 15, 2007, 06:15:03 PM I can't believe that people think the Rocky films were any good! Rocky I was fresh, unique, had a great script and Stallone acted the part well. Didn't it even win best picture or something? After that it became like a comic book. Crap but enjoyable. Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: raab11 on January 16, 2007, 02:35:52 AM Rocky is not a real person guys........ behave tikay!! Over 12 million people a year visit the Philadelphia Art Museum. Less than 300 a day actually go inside, the rest just climb the stairs. (I made those numbers up, only repeat in a cocktail party setting at your own risk) its ok tank 76% of all statistics are made up Rambo is better than the rocky films. u behave too gryff!!!

Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: vegaslover on February 20, 2007, 01:06:48 AM so he lost 21 fights before Apollo in Rocky 1 and then went on to become one of the greatest heavyweight champions and look unbeatable. Perhaps they were ahead of their time and it's based around the career of Audley Harrison! ;ifm; ;ifm; ;ifm;That is pretty impressive. How did he go from zero to hero in such a way. Seems so incredible they should make a film about him!! Title: Re: Rock Balboa Post by: ItsMrAlex2u on February 20, 2007, 01:15:45 AM cant believe he suports everton Yeah but 23 losses says it all..... |
