World Champ Boxer Rates Every 'Rocky' & 'Creed' Movie (w/ Sugar Shane Mosley) | How Real Is It?

The way he's brutally honest about a sport he devoted his life to, especially how boxing looks now compared to when he was boxing...definitely didn’t hold any punches back, no pun intended.

Great insight from one of the greats, but I don't consider the Rocky and Creed movies as purely boxing films. They are more about life and love, focusing on the relationships between Rocky and Adrian and Adonis and Bianca. The boxing elements serve as a metaphor for the financial and personal challenges we face in life.

[@ErnestZDodson]

I understand why they skipped "Rocky V," as it ends with a street fight, but I wish they had devoted more time to "Rocky Balboa." Considering the insights about the training sequence in "Rocky IV," it would have been valuable to hear thoughts on the training in "Rocky Balboa." This film focused more on strength training than fight training, specifically to "build some hurtin' bombs." The reasoning behind this approach would have been interesting to explore from a financial perspective, highlighting strategic investment in targeted areas for maximum impact. Additionally, while "Rocky Balboa" was technically an exhibition match, that's a minor detail in the larger context.

[@BrentJ.Sanchez]

I feel one Of the greatest challenges that we first timers face in the ma rket is that we end up losing all we have, we find it difficult to find ourselves back to our feet. My biggest advice is to always seek the services of a professional just like I did when I ventured into it for the first time. Big thanks to MARGARET ELLEN WHITLOCK. I now make huge profits by weekly through his services while still learning to stand on my own

[@laramyelliott2903]

Isnt that true of most sport centered movies. "Remember the Titans" is not purely a football movie for example because its also about issues like racism

[@3912James]

I agree. Rocky is a representative of people undergoing hardships and overcoming great odds (unemployment, divorce, cancer, drugs, alcoholism, etc.).

[@VodkaSoda]

He said that one day, he ran into Muhammad Ali in Beverly Hills and that when Ali saw him he said "Apollo Creed!" and they started air sparring (no contact) each other in the middle of street, in suits😅

[@Richard-Espanol]

[@hellfish2309]

@@Richard-Espanol Apollo Creed and _Rocky 1_ were based on a bout Ali had against Chuck Wepner: Ali thought it was a just cheesecake pair up, but he slipped/Wepner threw him off balance, and Wepner just kept taking the subsequent punishment; obviously hyped and dramatized for the Rocky character

[@One.Zero.One101]

Carl's punches looked legit. I can usually tell when actors didn't have enough boxing training. Carl's punches were fast and snappy. His footwork was smooth. He probably trains boxing in his personal time. I would be very very surprised if he didn't.

[@stevemitchell9176]

Great to see honest analysis from Sugar SM. It's good to know that the films are largely realistic, well as realistic as a Hollywood story can be. I wonder how much real boxing training the actors had to put in to achieve he level of fitness and technique to make the films. I learned a lot - top video!

[@sidlives2672]

My favorite boxing movie is When We Were Kings. An amazing movie documenting the Ali Forman fight. Just so well executed and got into the minds of the fighters as well as the commentators.

[@Erdrick68]

Glad he mentioned Ward-Gatti. What an epic trilogy of fights. 1 and 3 won fight of the year, and 2 only didn’t because it occurred in the same year as 2.

[@ManvasPachenko]

I've boxed all my life from aged 14 to now 56. 7 years competitively. I'm still in the gym 4-5 days a week. It was after seeing ROCKY III that I wanted to learn to box. Clubber Lang rocks!!! Mr T, threw some amazing hooking punches. Especially considering they weren't making contact. Very skilled. I'm still in love and addicted as much now as I was when I started. I also think, that as long as you're still in love with the sport, you never stop learning. My style has changed many times over the years, as I've become interested in different ways of moving, angles and footwork.

[@HaraDuran]

If you liked footworks go learn Orlando Canizales, Mexican Loma

[@renecruz3623]

[@em-performance2016]

Shane Mosley gave all to boxing and fought everyone. My favorite fight was when he beat down Margarito, great performance late in his career. When he was at 135 he was amazing, blazing fast and powerful. Unfortunately also took damage from boxing.

Good rating Champ, nice to see you're doing good. One of the 3 to deserve the nickname "Sugar".

[@judephantom]

I rewatch all the Rocky and Creed films after 1 year of practicing boxing and I saw how unrealistic the fight in the first one is I was like Rocky has no defense at all just waiting for the brain damage and I was waiting confirmation from a real boxer how unrealistic it was so I'm happy when he said 3/10

[@JasonL77]

I think Mr. T should have gotten a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Oscars for Rocky 3. He was excellent in that movie.

[@nickpatrick7021]

So glad he mentions Gatti vs Ward. Anyone with the least interest in boxing should watch that trilogy. I think the biggest difference between the movies and a real fight is that the hand speed is way slower and there are way more clean shots in the movies. In a real fight, the clean shots usually come in the middle of a flurry, and you might not even see them happen in real time.

I have to say my favorite Mosley fight was when he fought Margarito. First his team exposed the hand wraps, then he pulverized him. I also loved his fight against Mayorga when he knocked him out right before the end of the fight.

[@michaelb1761]

I liked the original Rocky except the fight scenes. Still watched just for Sugar Shane Mosely. When he talked about how fights are stopped now, I thought back to when I was a kid watching fights in the late 70's through mid 80's with my grandfather (a fighter himself). I especially remember the Mancini v. Kim fight where he literally killed Kim. Freddy Roach had some really brutal bloody fights when he was boxing too.

[@bigmoney749]

Shane is being veeeeeery generous with his grading here. The Rocky movies, even the newest ones, are all wildly unrealistic with their depictions in the ring. There is basically no defense at all, to the point where neither fighter would make it out of the first round and if, by some paradox, they did go even half the distance, they’d be dead.

That one also was mostly strength training rather than fight training, but for a specific reason "let's build some hurtin' bombs." His thoughts about the reasoning would have been interesting. Also, it WAS an exhibition match in ROCKY BALBOA, but that's a minor quibble.

Rocky 2 is my favorite of the original movies but my favorite fight from all the movies is absolutely Rocky vs. Drago. I've only seen Creed 1 and some of Creed 2 so I can't really say which of those movies I like more, or what fight is my favorite but the fight from Creed 3 that I saw in trailers and behind the scenes looked incredibly good.

[@axelstone3131]

[@aftercarecarez]

I was taught that if you’re fighting somebody in their legs are spread far that means they’re looking to punch and their footwork is going to be off and if they have a stand that is close together, that means they’re looking to move and they’re not looking to punch as much

[@FrankGUNstein]

I always felt rocky captured how it feels to be in a boxing bout… not so much the actual boxing or technique but the feeling

[@therealsyxx]

I swear i thought it was me. A lot of the boxers are punching wrong. Devin Haney slap punches. Tank punches properly. Terrence Crawford punches properly. A lot of boxers need fundamental lessons. But its hard to break a guy out of something thats been doing it for so long. Especially on a professional level.

[@nateballou3321]

Id like to see him react to other boxing movies too? Like The Fighter,Bleed for This, and Southpaw etc...!!? They should do another video where he reacts to all the good boxing movies!!?? Especially since he mention Micky Ward vs Arturo Gatti cuz the movie The Fighter is about Micky Ward!!?? Bleed For This is real good too cuz it was all about Vinny Pazienza!!?? It'd be cool to hear what he'd have to say on those movies cuz they were about Real life boxers that he probably knows a lot about or maybe even knew them personally or maybe even fought them!??

[@mazeradeville2911]

I always thought the wind up punch Ray Leonard did was to mask the speed of the uppercut since at the moment he would throw it, the hand would be moving towards his opponent's eyes making it look like it's moving at the same speed.

[@jackshepherd8965]

If you want a real life Rocky fight watch Leigh Wood Vs Michael Conlon. Featherweight Contest. Wood is dropped HEAVY in the first round. Looks like he should’ve been knocked out… but gets back up… and then fights back to stop Conlan in the 12th round!! (Wood was losing on all 3 judges’ scorecards and he needed the stoppage to win) You couldn’t get more drama in a movie! But it’s real sport!!

[@helixsol7171]

I think Rocky making it to the top of the stairs is also meant to emphasize his stamina, since that's his main strength. He takes hits, refuses to go down, and if he does go down hs gets right back up.

[@JUYAN16]

Yeah, Stallone did base Rocky on the rivalry between Frasier and Ali. With Apollo obviously being based on Ali and Frasier, Rocky.

[@beandon7227]

4:38 is the only part of the video where I disagree with Shane. There are still great fights in boxing that are back and forth action. It's definitely rarer because the reffing and judging style has changed throughout the years, but every year, we get 3-4 Ward vs. Gatti style fights. Nothing compares to that fight in my opinion, because that's my favorite fight ever. But look at Zepeda vs. Baranchyk or Espinoza vs. Rodriguez or Wilder vs. Fury 3 or Inoue vs. Donair 1. All recent fights. All barn burners. I could name more examples in the last 10 years, but the point is that in todays boxing, the fight isn't always stopped prematurely, and there are always still movie worthy fights in boxing happening constantly.
