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…
Gordon and the Whale.com started a new feature called Reel Bad Dudes and their first selection was Sly playing Deke DaSilva in Nighthawks. Well played, gents, well played.

As you can imagine, Sly getting into the Boxing Hall of Fame has been big news…
And a bunch of other sites.
On May 31, 2011, Michael Marley at Examiner.com posted an excellent piece on why Sly deserves to be in the boxing Hall of Fame.
On June 11, 2011, Mathew Gambino at InsideFights.com explained why “Rocky Balboa is a True Boxing Hall of Famer.”
