Rocky certainly isn't more realistic. Those movies did do a good job of telling stories with the fight though. It was more pro wrestling in its depiction than boxing.

The thing that boxing movies never get right is counter punching. The best, most exhilarating moments in boxing and when people are exchanging and throwing at the same time and someone gets caught in between.
Man, Duran beat 3 shades of shit out of Davey Moore. That was a brutal prolonged beating.
Thats horrible.
There's about 5 episodes of Ray Stevenson being terrific in one of the seasons somewhere.
You can basically just follow Arguello through all the weights and see all of the best or most fun fighters of the time.
He was a first ballot hall of famer before he even got involved in the greatest 4-way rivalry in history. All of those fights happened past his prime and against guys naturally much larger. Its ridiculous.
Yeah, I do try not to be a "the fighters in my day were REAL fighters" guy. But its mostly undeniable.
That is one of the all time great KO's. That finishing right is like a fucking shotgun blast. Duran has one of the all time great chins and is just flattened.
90,000 gypsys. Wembley says no way.
Canelo is probably the face of boxing right now wouldn't you say? If he and GGG can get it on that'll be as big a superfight as the sport can make right now.
Undisputed and Great White Hype are shite. (Undisputed: 2 however…)
I wouldn't say its that the titles are outside the US. I'd say its more that there are 28923473298324323 titles. Belts, the things that quickly illustrate to the public and part time or potential fans who the best fighters are and which fights are important, are totally and completely meaningless.
I'd find it hard to believe you haven't been hearing about Floyd Mayweather over the last 5 years.
It is a shame that 'No Mas' defines him for the public at large. He was a total badass at his natural weight. Then he stepped up to face one of the all time great welterweights…and beat him. The Leonard embarrassment derailed his devourer of worlds act, but he was knocking the hell out of the middleweight champion in…
I don't find Cameron likable at all. She's a genius, but mostly a goddamn child. She'd be insufferable to be around in real life. That doesn't mean Cameron isn't a great character.
It looked like a botch that they ran with. But it also looked like it hurt, so they were right to replay it.
They are putting him over as the star of the thing, its hard to see him not winning it all.
Itami is only one feud ending GTS on Austin Ares away from being that guy though.
Ibushi is going straight to Raw once he's won the CWC, surely?
