  4. Hi I am a massive Sly fan from the UK. Sly looks in awesome shape. Rocky balboa is going to be brilliant, I looking forward to it, plus Rambo 4.

  8. Let’s be for real. Stallone just has too much ego for something like a photo touch up…This is what the man looks like, period. His muscle shape is consistent with what it’s always been, and he’s been pushing himself like this for nearly 30 years. Besides, Rocky VI is considered low budget, photo touch ups probably aren’t the most important aspect of making this movie. After he learned about proper diet and conditioning he never let himself really out of shape…Copland aside. To say he looks better than in Rambo III, I don’t know. He’s definitely bigger, but that often happens with age. And during Rambo III he was often filmimg in 130 degree weather, that can sweat away a few pounds, hence those awesome abs he sported back then. Bottom line is this, all fans should thank Stallone for his dedication throughout the years so we can still look at him as an inspiration and just say, ‘damn, I want to be like that when I’m 60’!!!!

  11. When Mason Dixon she discovers that the current age of Rocky is alone appearance and that he is still the same of formerly, he will have discovery better not to have challenged. Edmundo, a super fan of Brazil!!!

  17. UNBELIEVABLE Shape for 60!….for 30!….for 20!! LOL.

    Sylvester Stallone, i salute you!!!.

    Craig LOL! You’re welcome!

    sly center saidMan is he ripped!

    Craig Yes. Yes, he is!

    LEFT HOOK said… Holy crap!

    Craig You sound like Robin the Boy Wonder… but I get where you’re coming from!

    JL said… Yet another cool photo. Sly is freakish looking in that photo. Not too many 60 year olds have a sculpted body like that.

    Craig Not too many 30 year olds either!

    Adam said… My jaw just dropped. Holy smokes! That is incredible!

    Craig That is incredible… also it’s incredible that your jaw dropped!

    Bridget said… Hot! Hot! Hot! There is only one Sylvester Stallone….only one Rocky Balboa!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

    Craig I know you do! Me too!

    Frozen_inferno said… I want to look like that when im 60, baby.

    Craig Who wouldn’t? The man is incredible!

    Jazz Okay it’s official…Sly did in fact workout for this film. I’m certain of it.

    Craig My guess is that he probably did a bit more than just some cardio.

    Sly Artist said…
    forget 60. I wanna look like that at 40 something or ANY age. what a true inspiration!

    Craig I’d be happy with his “Cop Land” look!

    Anonymous said… Craig, maybe you can help with you’re web/blog design skills (and your contacts). Can we start an online petition to get Rocky Blaboa the same release date worldwide and then send it to the heads of MGM? Help us Craig, you maybe our only hope…

    Craig My contacts are for the blog only. I wish you well with your efforts though!

    charlotte said… OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Craig I think you left off an exclamation point!

    Tony Stalloney said… COME ON, SPREAD THE PIC………

    Craig Spread the word SZoners! Get your family and friends to attend the opening weekend. Let’s make “Rocky Balboa” the surprise hit of the year!

    Lotofsly said… Sly is in better shape than ever !!!!

    Craig And that’s saying a whole lot!

    Slyce said… The Beefcake Bod!!! He’s ENORMOUS!! All I can say is WOW!!!

    Craig Wow, indeed!

    Andre Dias – Brazil said… Nice picture!!!

    Craig Thanks!

    Hennie Blaauw said… Dixon is wondering….”where’s the nearest exit….” He looks worried.

    Craig LOL! Who wouldn’t be?

    Vippe said… I wish I could look like that at the age of 22 🙂

    Craig Where have I heard that before? LOL! Everyone is inspired by Sly!

    The Torr said… Sly looks great – what an inspiration – go for it Rock!

    Craig Yes, yes he does!

    CMoney said… In the words of the legendary Mills Lane, “Let’s get it on!!!” 😎

    Craig In the words of the legendary Doyle Brunson, “I’m in.”

    mike-tiger said… Sly is simply the best !!!

    Craig Yes, he is. And that’s a great title for a song!

  23. Whether you’re from US, Canada, Europe or elsewhere please support Sly and Rocky by signing the following which will be sent to Sony/MGM to ensure the film is released WORLDWIDE on December 22nd – rather than the strange spread out schedule that would lead to piracy and will make the box-office gross plummet:

    http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/749234240

    We have talked to Sony and they have said that they will take the idea into account if the numbers were significant enough.

    Everyone please sign this and reply so that as many people read this post and sign the petition by it remaining at the top of the boards.

  24. I heard he looses the fight by points??? Also, I heard they may film alternate endings??? I hope h wins the fight.

  27. ohhhhh.. man i cant wait for thefilm what a physique…. its going to be the biggest rocky .. i hope the soundtrack is good.

  30. Tarver looks all out of shape. He should have been embarassed to look like that on camera. Stallone all ripped at 60 and he looks like crap! I hope i can look that good at 60.
