Agreedand we watched the alternate ending where Rocky winsI don't think it has quite the same impact. Him losing BUT going the distance given his age and the supposed" farce" of him even being in the ring with the current Heavyweight Champion was MORE then enough.

Im gonna punch you in the cooter, I swear to God!

1985 balboa.. yep dixon would not get very far especially considering he couldn't even KO a 2005 rocky.

But Stallone also suggests that Dixon injuring his hand is the main reason for the fight becoming competitive. But I agree that it also suggests that the computer fight result was right in that Rocky would've whupped Dixon in his prime.

Damn skippy!

Well, I think it's at least implied that the computer simulation was correct. A retired, aged Rocky was able to go the distance with the heavyweight champion and lose only on points. So Rocky in his prime would almost certainly have mopped the floor with Dixon.
