Peter Botte at the New York Post took on the task of Ranking All Eight Movies in ‘Rocky’ Series with his comments. I thought it would be interesting to compare Botte’s rankings with mine.

Botte	Zablo
1. Rocky (1976)	1. Rocky (1976)
2. Creed (2015)	2. Rocky Balboa (2006)
3. Rocky II (1979)	3. Creed (2015)
4. Rocky III (1982)	4. Rocky III (1982)
5. Creed II (2018)	5. Creed II (2018)
6. Rocky Balboa (2006)	6. Rocky II (1979)
7. Rocky IV (1985)	7. Rocky IV (1985)
8. Rocky V (1990)	8. Rocky V (1990)

So, what do you think? (And for those of you following closely, my rankings have changed just a bit since the last time I did this!)

Rare “Rocky III” Photo

Craig / January 26, 2020January 26, 2020 / 2020, Rocky III, Sly Fan

Rob Hoskins, a longtime SZoner and Stallone fan checked in with the following…

I was recently going through some old memorabilia and uncovered this pic that surely hasn’t seen the light of day in decades. It’s from the dressing room before the Lang rematch. I absolutely love the gritty look of those old Polaroids. Thanks for all you do. ENJOY !

Thanks for sharing Rob. This is a rare photo and one I’m sure everyone will enjoy. Best – Craig
