trailer (came out with POTC 2) http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/rockybalboa.html
rocky in part 5 was in in early to mid forties, but i think in this one he is probably in his 50's. Stallone is finally starting to show his age much like Arnold in terminator 3, it seem unrealistic for a 50 year old to be fighting someone in their 20's. why is this generation fighter vs. that generation fighter and see who is the best anyway important? it looked ok but I wonder if they are going to have rocky fight when he is 70?

Wasn't there a boxer named gearge forman that fought up until his late 40s?

I dont think Antonio Tarver is playing a young 20's boxer. Tarver is almost 38 and an old boxer himself.

That would be George Foreman
His last fight was in 1997 when he was 48, it was one of only 5 loses his entire career. He finished 76-5. Theres no way hes coming back now at age 57.
Evander Holyfield will turn 44 this year and had his last fight 2 years ago, and says he wants to come back.

was 1997 the fight when George was over 300 pounds and his opponent was only 225. who was it that he fought?
The heaviest foreman ever fought at was 267 and that was in 1987. In his 2 fights in 97 he was 260 and 253, where he fought around a lot of his career.

Geroge Foreman is the older man to ever win the Heavyweight Title at age 45. So Rocky can still do it. I really want to see this movie. I am a big fan of the movie series. Just out of curiousity, does anyone have or know of a place where I can get a downloadable link?
Boxing is confusing to a lot of people because of the ambiguity of the word "champion" There are lots of belts out there, most of which are bum belts that mean nothing. There are 3 high regarded championships. The WBA, WBC, and IBF. George did manage to hold 2 of these late in his career. (one was vacant the other he won of a proven fighter but not exactly off stellar competition) He was also stripped of both belts within a few months for refusal to defend it.
But yea competition is a big part about boxing. Heavweights arnt what they used to be, the real talent is in the lower weights now a days, which is why someone like foreman could win at 45. In Rocky 6 if Mason is supposed to be a great champion then its unreal an old guy could win. If Mason just happens to be the best of the bums out at the time, its plausable.
From what I have heard about the plot Mason isnt liked or respected because he only defends his belts against low level, low risk oponents.
also downloading movies is illegeal so the mods arnt gonna like people helping you with it on here.
I was asking a link for to the trailer, not movies. I never download movies off the net. I always support the movies, even though it is expensive these days. I just forgot to put trailer in my post. I do know the rules, I been on these boards for a while now. I agree with what you said about Foreman, you are right.
