Rocky characters

shane6969 · 04-09-2004, 01:31 AM

I downloaded BronxBombers Rocky "fighters" (Balboa, Creed, Lang, Drago, Rico and Gunn) from cornerwork.com the other day (nice work Bronx). Anyway, since I hadn't seen any of the movies for years, I did a web search for Clubber Lang, Rocky Balboa etc. and came up with a website that has a mini bio for each of the 20 odd "boxers" that appeared in the movies (and even some who I think didn't). Apparently there is a Rocky arcade game out for X-Box and PS2, for which the bio's were done. I was wondering if anyone was willing/able to have a go at rating these other blokes for our game. Could be interesting.

Here is the web address for the bio's.

Cheers,

I remember reading about the original concept for Rocky 2 had Rocky fighting the best boxer from Greece. The big fight was going to be in the collisseum at the end of the day they obviously went with another concept. I believe they discuss it on the Rocky 2 dvd as well. I gotta try and find out more about this fighter as he could be the "missing" Rocky opponent.

Here is an animation I found of a bloke named Big Yank Ball. This is a quote from the website where I got the pic.

"You may remember Big Yank Ball as one of Rocky's opponents in the intro to Rocky III. Yank Ball was the US Army Champion challenging for Rocky's world belt."

I found the webpages that have all the pics, bio's and a small paragraph that states what all of these "boxers" roles were in the Rocky movies.
