The fight with Drago should have been stopped after the first 30 seconds in.

All of Rocky's fights should have been stopped after the first 30 seconds.

That's the formula every fight. Rocky gets his shit pushed in hard in the first. Makes comeback at end of the second. Back and forth till eventual stoppage win for the Rock.
 
If Spider Rico couldve just gotten his shit together man...

Well obviously before he lost to Drago. Rocky vs Creed III could have been a straight to VHS between Rocky III & Rocky IV.
 
Lets not forget Rocky fought in the weakest HW era, mid 70's to mid 80's. Creed was the last of the true great HW. Rocky caught him on the downside.
 


That sequence right before ending shots when Clubber is covering up and Rocky is beating on him is real.
 
I can't help but feel Rocky's son wasted his genetics... by not even having them

Rocky III is what led both Hulk Hogan and Mr. T to the WWF/WWE. Hogan had previously been a heel in that territory, but had since become a star for the AWA and in Japan. The reaction to his cameo as Thunderlips convinced Vince McMahon that he was a guy that could crossover into the mainstream.

Ironically, filming those scenes is why his heel run had originally came to an end. Vince's father still ran the WWF in 1981/82, and he wasn't happy with Hogan taking part in the film.
 
I love Mick, but I feel he really underrated Spider Rico.
 
I know people are tongue-in-cheek about how did Rocky get a title shot with his record, but I was reading a thread yesterday at Eastside asking "who was the 3rd best heavyweight of the '80s?" after Tyson and Holmes. They discussed Pinklon Thomas, Tim Witherspoon (who most agreed on), but then talk came to Mike Weaver. Weaver was "the other champion" for a lot of Holmes' reign. However, they were saying that he might've been the last trialhorse to be able to get to champion. The man started his career 6-6 and made it to world champion. And there was more merit then in getting title shots than there is now because people underneath the champion actually fought live bodies to be able to get into title matches, in contrast to now where you have all these guys underneath the top undefeated or with 1 loss because their promoters make sure they don't fight anyone and they pay off the sanctioning bodies. That's what infuriates me about the modern heavyweight division. Leave the Klitschkos out of it entirely: none of the top 10 to top 20 guys fight one another with very few exceptions unless there's a belt at stake. Look at Povetkin, he won a decision over Eddie Chambers in January 2008 to become the IBF’s mandatory contender for Wladimir Klitschko. In the five years and nine months between the Chambers fight to when he finally fought Wlad, he fought a grand total of two live bodies in that time period: Ruslan Chagaev, because it was for the WBA “Regular” Heavyweight Championship (Wlad having the real WBA title when he beat David Haye), and Marco Huck, a cruiserweight.

Your obviously havent watched the fights... If you look back on the fights,he was never knocked out cold, and alot of the tko's were unwarranted. He was counted out standing for the KO :p
Lol
 
Ace Bean claimed that his corner rubbed too much vaseline on his chest and he wasn't able to cool down because of it. Caused him to over heat.
