Tariq Nasheed raised this point years ago and it blew my mind. He was like white people don't have heroes so they had to invent one rather than pay homage to an actual one

I watched Rocky 3 like 6 months ago because I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid and forgot why it was considered such a drop off with clubber Lang being one of the goat sports movie characters. Then the hulk hogan scene came on and I remembered. Stallone must have had more juice and couldn’t help but put his over the top 80s action star bullshyt in

literally just died laughing at that montage of him just knocking brehs out for two minutes and the scores of poor philly/NJ/Boston cacs cheering that shyt with tears in their eyes

Joe Frazier appeared in the first Rocky film. He stepped in the ring during the fight intros.

Yup. Joe Frazier was supposed to get a statue first, not the damn fake Rocky

And Rocky movie is really about Chuck Wepner.. White dude from North Jersey - who fought Ali. Dude even sued Stallone I think

Yup, that's true. Even Stallone said Chuck Wepner fight inspired him to do the Rocky movie. Watch ESPN 10s for 10s. It was good ass documentary Chuck Wepner. I remember we had this thread about Rocky and Chuck Wepner theead for this from years ago
