After Homer gets destroyed by Tatum like Rocky did against Clubber, I walk in and tell Homer, you can't go out like that, we can win the title together like Apollo did. Homer would be like, I don't need this anymore, why you here? I would tell him, you can't pull it off without me because I am the best, you need better training. I am bored but great memories . Regarding the Rocky movies, fighters compared to real life fighters by Rolling Stone: Apollo Creed = Ali Rocky = Rocky Marciano Clubber = Mike Tyson Drago = Vitali klitchko 😂 Rocky 2 and 4 are my favorite. Have you watched the Creed movies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky 3 is my favorite. Apollo training Rocky and Mr T's character were priceless. Rocky 2 had the best fight though . After Rocky 4, it got too played out to me. 5 and 6 were MEH.

Yeah, when he wasn’t bleeding all over the place, haha. From what I remember he was similar to Smokin’ Joe; kept moving forward. I always thought Bonecrusher Smith had the body to take on anyone. I met him once at his training camp in the 80’s. Those arms were massive and packed a lot of power. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Apollo's son vs Draco's son I have seen a few clips of Creed 2 on Youtube but never have watched the whole movie. I seen where Drago is in it. I thought Creed 1 was kind of average but I grew up with the Rocky movies with Rocky fighting. As far as the fights between Rocky and Clubber being short, that was fine because there were 2 of them. The way I would rank the Rocky movies would be: 1. Rocky 3 - had more action than any of them and the Creed twist was shocking. Back then there was no internet or teasers, so nobody had no idea that Creed would train Rocky. Mr T was by far the baddest villain of them all. He made people want to hate him. Hulk Hogan was even it who Rocky fought for charity . Mick even passed away, it all kinds of twists and turns. 2. Rocky 1 - the 1st one because of the storyline. He also went the distance with GOAT = Apollo, nobody ever done that. 3. Rocky 2 - had the best fight, so I can see how that would be #1 in many eyes. That was my mom's favorite because of Adrian coming out of the coma and telling Rocky to win and the fight was the best of the whole series. 4. Rocky 4 - This one was good but not great. They could have made this much better to where it could of been the best of the series. It was kind of unrealistic because no way in real life would Apollo get killed in 2 rounds. The fight between Apollo and Drago should have at least gone 7 or 8 rounds and just show Apollo taking a beating. 2 Rounds = no way. #2, they made Drago out to be like a superhero, Rocky already beat Clubber who was just as strong, so I didn't care for the storyline. The training scenes by Rocky and Drago and the music is what saved that one from being average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll never cease to amaze me how little some people understand the human body. LOL You got me, I must be a robot. Richardson just missed an entire season being hurt. I think it would make sense to be a little bit more cautious this soon after coming back from shoulder surgery. Besides, some of us remember a certain QB snowboarding getting injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyagent17 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago I had a client that lives in Florida that says he has never played a full season even in High School and would never play a full season again since he is so injury prone. I sure hope that will not happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the Rocky movies earlier, look at how great of shape Carl Weathers was in, he worked out for over 40 years, didn't drink or smoke and he passed at 76.
