Maaan I'm really look forward to the inevitable behind the scenes DVD extras.

PLEASE tell me that Antonio Tarver can act better than Tommy Morrison...PLEASE!
Cant wait for this movie!!!!

ROCKY!!! ROCKY!!! ROCKY!!!
looks like he's paying close attention by looking off.
Traver doesnt look like he can punch. is he really a former lightheavyweight boxer?
He looks like some idiots to me.
Nice pic.

Great!!
Thanks Craig for all these pics.
I can't wait march.

You are great Rocko!!! Lets go Sly..! Antonio Traver looks great.. But i think that a match between Rocky and The Rock, Vin Diesel, Mike Tyson, Tito Ortiz or Ken Shamrock should be great.. And i would love to see a Rocky 7 when Rocky train his son or somebody else to become World Champion.. And Rocky should fight again one more match.. His managed should die in a match or stay disable so Rocky should were his gloves for a last time.. Anw.. Thank you Sly for all.. You change my life to the best.. And dont worry to make a Rocky 7.. Nothing's over till is over Sly!! Yo Sly.. If you want come to Cyprus at Christmas..
PS.. I want to thank you Mr. Stallone one more time because from the time i saw Rocky movies my life change.. I went to the dvd club and i find Rocky 5.. I rent it.. I love it.. I went and buy all the Rocky movies.. From that time i lost 10kg.. I'm training very hard.. And i am going boxing lessons.. I make all of my friends Rocky fans. Thank you Sly.. You change my life!!
I'm not ready to see rocky die, or get hurt, or anything like that. I want to see him compete, and keep on competing. He doesn't have to be world champion.
He'd make a great coach. Stallone was great in The Contender. Maybe in the next Rocky, he could help coach the US Olympic team.
I just want to see how he lives his life. No reason for this to stop, because Rocky is an interesting character with integrity, guts, and spirit. We need more of that.
I was just thinking: Not only is there some inconsistency in the Rocky timeline, but there seems to be some inconsistency in Rocky's punches too.
j/k folks ;-)
....Tarver's just rapt with attention.
I CAN"T WAIT!!!!
Some of you fans may be able to explain away the inconsistant Rocky timeline to your little heart's content, but none of you can escape the glaring age difference in Rocky Jr between IV and V. I mean, c'mon! The kid goes from being like 7 to being like 13! No amount of linguistic gymnastics can explain that. Even for you diehards.
what is your problem? if you are getting so caught up in the insignificant details like that, you are missing the true heart of the story.
that's my point, you yo-yo! all those previous posts trying to defend the time problems in Rocky can't see the forest for the trees.
just enjoy the movies for what they are and quit trying to defend the indefensible.
they're great movies. period.
butkus, you are my new hero!
butkis....you're an idiot.
learn to spell, dude.
What up yall? I'm D Jon and I have two songs in this movie. You can hear snippets of the two songs Raw and Get Up (feat. Frank Stallone) on myspace.com/djon41. Make sure you leave me a message and I'll get back atcha! Holla atcha boy!
Hey I heard that the guy from Napoleon Dynamite carries the numbers around the ring between rounds in the movie. Any truth to that rumor?

Seems that Antonio wasn't paying attention on that shot. Anyways, no matter how this pic may indicate, ROCKY BALBOA will certainly be a great movie without a doubt! This'll be huge. Sly, thanks for bringing Rocky back to the big screen again.
yet another great pic. can't wait for this movie
rocky rocky rocky!!!!!!!!!
Whether you're from US, Canada, Europe or elsewhere please support Sly and Rocky by signing the following which will be sent to Sony/MGM to ensure the film is released WORLDWIDE on December 22nd - rather than the strange spread out schedule that would lead to piracy and will make the box-office gross plummet:

We have talked to Sony and they have said that they will take the idea into account if the numbers were significant enough.
Everyone please sign this and reply with this link so that as many people read this post and sign the petition by it remaining at the top of the boards.
Wonder if there will be a new Rocky game coming out?
This movie will have the world cheering for years to come !
Thank you Sly n company for blessing us with ROCKY BALBOA !!!!
there better be a new rocky game coming out. but please, stop the talk of rocky seven. let this movie do what the last one didn't. give us closure. give uss one more chance to see our hero in the ring, showing us the long shot will always be around and it is never too late.

Hey,everybody know that guy.
Sly want his son (sage)to play Rocky Jr.
Go Rocky;love you!
Sorry,Sly WANTED his son to play Rocky Jr,in Rocky 5.
which was my whole point. Who cares about the kids ages? it makes no sense to try to explain it because you can't. just enjoy the movies. Rocky's back!

Ah, teaching him how to act. In turn, he teaches you how to box realistically. 8-)

Sly and Rocky fans everywhere!
OVer 600 signatures in just over a week is awesome!!
We need to start sending this link everywhere. I'm talking newspapers, tv stations, radio shows... lets get people talking! There are millions of Sly/Rocky fans all over the world, but if they dont kow where to look the pettition will never get the numbers needed to make a difference. It's October now, by the start of November surely it'll be too late for the studios to publicise a world wide same day release! ACT NOW! Email this link to everyone in your address book, send it to as many newspapers, radio stations (specific DJ's), tv chat/talk shows, this needs exposure!!!!
Lets help the world find it!!!!

If Rocky dies in this one then for the love of god, let him die as number 1..
Because Rocky is NR 1
Dude if rocky dies or doesn't win, I will be disappointed in this movie. People didn't like 5 because he didn't fight in the ring. Just think if he loses and they say " you are a winner for surviving" or something stupid like that. He should win and not die. Go out like a champ. We see too many fighters lose their final match it'll be gay. If it goes the other way, its gonna kick ass. Either way, I'm seeing this movie.
The Rocky movies have been passed down from my father to me they inspired him when he was a young man and they did the same for me. They are what inspired me to start protecting myself and others againest tougher people/bullies in fact I was one who after awhile was called on when thier was an issue the hole school new my name. Later after high school it inspired me to go into the navy to see what I could do to serve my country. The important thing for me is that when ever I came up againest something that should have stopped me I always came back too when I say in the 5th movie Rocky is remembering the time Mick said "I aint heard no bell, get up cause Mickey loves yah" , it reminds me of what my great grand mother said before she died " Make the most of life you only travel the path once and you don't get any redues".
Anyway with this newest movie in the series I really think that if Rocky wins he should either die leaving the belt to his son at the end, and the son start training to follow in his fathers foot steps or Rocky should train his son to take the reins. However I do believ that if their is to be a 7th then that is where I hate to say it but Rocky should be retired and the series ending with the son being the champ. The 7th should also finish it completely up!!
It seems silly to speculate on possible endings to a movie but personally, I'd like to see Rocky go the distance - win, lose, or draw; enjoy the moment; make peace with everyone he knows and then either find something else he enjoys or die peacefully in his sleep. I'm a huge Rocky fan and I was disappointed in the ending to Rocky V - was somewhat bitter about the movie - seemed a huge waste because he wasn't fighting for self respect or a better life or love or anything - instead he was fighting his own protege in the street no less because the kid lacked discipline and Rocky was too nice to set him straight verbally on day one. The whole thing gave me visions of Rocky ending up like Jerry Quarry and made the Rocky III and IV victories seem pyrrhic at best. In truth, I'd long wished they'd just stopped at IV and let him finish as a Champion with health, finances and family intact. Rocky VI needed to be made if for no other reason to clean up loose ends following Rocky V. Rocky VI looks like a winner - with memories of Foreman - Moorer, the Contender series still popular and Hopkins recent thrashing of Tarver for the light-heavyweight title, the premise of an old guy beating a younger champion seems reasonable. Praise Sly for making this movie - I can hardly wait to see it.
i think rocky can be the trainer for rocky 7 however he will not go for the next shot because he had chosen to replace him the young super fighter could be sasha mitchell who perform the star at kickboxing the movie.
