It seems that Stallone has taken inspiration from George Foreman with ROCKY 6. George after getting whupped by Spinks just sort of walked away from boxing and gained weight, took up charity work, but then one day discovered that the money had run out for the charity and himself, and nobody would give him a loan, his friends told him that the ships had sailed. And he just didn’t have anything anymore. He was an overweight, out of shape, middle aged man of questionable diminished fame. George decided to go back to boxing, mainly small club fights, tiny venues, people calling him a joke, but he was winning, and around that 16th fight, people started to take notice, things began to turn around. Well Stallone wants to basically tell that story, the has-been giving it a run story, but he also has in ROCKY 6 a character that he’s heading towards fighting, a new champ, which represents the modern black athlete which is very different from the Apollo Creeds or Alis of yesteryear. That new generation of Athlete with their posses and hanger ons. And what he wants is a DMX or a LL COOL J type to have in there, that has his own reasons for fighting, his own motivations. Not just some icon of evil that he has to defeat, but someone with their own demons and their own reasons to step into that ring."

Scheduled release: I think it said Fall 2004.

By the way, I’m sure the movie will suck as it seems to be the trend with all the Rocky movies. They get worse and worse every time. This one will suck, but I may be in for a delighted surprise.

THIS HOUSE STINK! Yo!

Rocky 1 was inspired by Ali-Weppner. Rocky 6 sounds like it is inspired by Foreman's comeback, which peaked with Foreman-Moorer.

I have no idea what inspired 2, 3, 4, or 5. Probably, the inspiration was "let's make more $ with a sequel!"
