How come Balboa gets up 2-3 times after being knocked down during a fight? And how come his opponent can never get up after a single knockdown?

Don't mind me, I'm watching 1-4 now on On Demand :D

because he is the human punching bag.
rocky isnt about the damage he can deal as much as hes about the damage he can take.

its not Mr. T it's Rocky.
if the series revolved around Mr. T, he'd be getting up for every sequel.

He's 60. 60 is kind of old. He doesn't look too bad for his age.

I really want to see the new Rocky movie as long as I don't have to waste money on it. I figure I'll wait five years until there is a Rocky marathon on TBS and it gets the 4am slot...

I heard some previews on a talk radio show this morning and it seems comically ludicrous...

Because when rocky knocks them down he's usually worn them out by being a punching bag for them.
