Actually I thought that was one of the worst moments in the whole series (I-4, 5 was an abortion)

I remember the Mad satire for Rocky 4, one of the last lines were Rocky holds up the US flag and his coach says to someone else
Ah it's so good to see the old red white and blue
You mean the american flag?
No,, I'm talking about Rockys face...

By the way did you notice he never in all the movies (maybe in 5, havn't seen it) fights a White US citizen, they are always black, he only fights white people if they are from either Germany or Russia... [img]smile.gif[/img]

..from germany... yes... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rocky 1 is the least horrible of them, the other simply should not have been made... or not they are good for a laugh, cause they take themselves so seriously

Jorath, Take a look at the sport of boxing, there really aren't that many white american boxers that get anywhere in the business.

I'm fairly certain that in the title defenses he didn't just fight against the European champ, in addition, his prior fights (when he talks with Adrian when on the rink) often have white fighters.

Tommy Morrison and McNeely, as well as Butterbean are the only well known American white boxers (now). Back in the 30's-60's, most of the fighters were white. Marciano, Dempsey, Schemeling, Blin, MildenBerger, Cooper, Hunsaker, Wepner (Rocky's inspiration), all were white fighters. Now the heavyweight title is held by a white guy, Vitali Klitcho (major SP). But still, boxing isn't really a white man's sport (in terms of racial representation) imo.
