Rocky movies question

Post by sevenofgeorge »

Why is it that they use the RING title belt for the first five films and you don't see the WBC and WBA Titles until Rocky Balboa (on display at Adrian's restaurant)? Also was he just the WBC & WBA champ or was he IBF champ also? How about Mason Dixon, did they ever say what titles he held? Thanks

I have no clue why the other belts werent mentioned in the first 5 movies. you'd have to figure in 1976 there was only the wba/wbc/ring belts. by rocky 4 there was the ibf belt. i think it was just accepted that balboa was undisputed champion when he beat creed. as for dixon he had all four organization belts plus the ring belt. i think another reason may of been that, as now, the public was sick of the alphabet mess in real life. why put it in a movie?

I dunno either but i was curious to know if Slyvester Stallone had included in his special edition ROCKY movies special edition dvd's,any video footage of him "sparring" with famous fighters such as Ken Norton or Earnie Shavers?
You know he probably had a video camera to record it then.
