Rotten Tomatoes has posted their picks for the 20 Greats Fight Scenes Ever. They picked Rocky Balboa vs Apollo Creed as their #1 choice. Can’t say that I disagree. – Craig

UK Fan Art
Jon McKenzie wrote in to say:
Hello,
Just checked out your site (StalloneZone). Very well laid out and interesting to read through. Added to my favourites. Well done on all the work you’ve put into it, best fan site I’ve come across.
I’ve been a big fan of Stallone and his films ever since I was a kid and thought that the new Rambo movie was probably his best bar Rocky 1.
I also noticed you have fan work on your site and thought you might like a look at some of the work I’ve done previously on Stallone.
There is more of my work on my site www.jonmckenzieart.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you and would really appreciate some feedback on the work.
Thank you.
