A Mexican boxing legend has spoken on one of the hypothetical fights that of course would not happen in boxing, but has got a big response.
Rocky Balboa was a movie and not a real fighter obviously played by Silvester Stallone.
But still, even after all these years, Rocky is still an iconic figure in boxing for old and new fans, and in wider society.
Mexican Boxing Legend Talks Hypothetical Mike Tyson vs Rocky Balboa Fight
Mexican boxing legend Erik Morales spoke on him a short time ago on Instagram in a hypothetical match up with Mike Tyson with Rocky saying: (Spanish to English)
“I had a dream they were fighting… Mike Tyson vs Rocky Balboa. The royal fury of “Iron Mike” against the indestructible heart of the eternal “Italian Stallion”. Explosion of power, drama and resilience in a match that could only exist in dreams. Who would win for you: Tyson or Rocky?”
Obviously such a fight would never happen but the two are major fan favorites.
So much so that a real fighter, and one of the greatest Mexican boxers ever even, Erik Morales, spoke on Rocky.
