Mike thinks the photo was taken sometime around 2000 or 2001. Thanks to Mike for sharing! – Craig
The January 8, 2007 issue of US magazine has three tidbits about Sly.
The first features Sly and Brandon Davis in the “Look-Alike of the Week” feature. Both are shown in small photos with the caption: “Should Brandon Davis have played Rocky Balboa’s son instead of Milo Ventimiglia?”

Michael Joseph is back with what I believe to be his best work ever: Rocky Balboa vs Muhammad Ali! – Craig
On November 30, 2006, Sylvester Stallone held a special screening of “Rocky Balboa” for fans and the media in Southfield, Michigan. Southfield is the home of the Kronk Boxing gym run by Emanuel Steward (who was in attendance), the world famous boxing trainer of many champions. – Craig
In the December 2006 issue of Premiere magazine there’s a nice profile of Sly by Pat Jordan and photos by Gregg Segal.
Here are a couple of excerpts:
* “Rocky has always been a guy who’s about giving and receiving pain, purging old pain with new.”
* When Stallone talks about his latest film, he does so with the same “raging” enthusiasm he always has.
* “Exercise is my salvation, my discipline.”
* “I realized I was cast as Rocky forever. I took it the wrong way and shouldn’t have worked so hard against it. You can’t be better than you are as an actor. I can’t play Shakespeare.”
* “I shoulda just gradually evolved as an actor over the years, like Clint Eastwood. But Rocky took away my opportunity to peak.”
The December issue of Premiere is on stands now everywhere! It is well worth seeking out! – Craig
