On July 9, 2011, The Bleacher Report posted their choices for the Best Boxing Movies of All Time. There was stiff competition from Cinderella Man, The Fighter, Million Dollar Baby and Raging Bull, but Rocky came in at #1. Here’s a bit of what they said…
- Rocky is not only the greatest boxing film ever, it’s likely the greatest sports film ever.
- Stallone’s slow-talking, small-witted, big-hearted Rocky, is the All-American tale…
- Rocky is simply an American institution.
