The boxing world was left emotional after watching a scene from Rocky 3 where Mickey confesses to handpicking Rocky’s opponents in his title defenses to protect him from a beating like the one he received from Apollo Creed in their rematch. The video that was shared on Facebook, was from the scene where Mikey warned Rocky Balboa about Clubber Lang. According to Mickey, Lang is young, powerful, and hungry. While Rocky is civilized and no longer has the strength and stamina to fight someone of Lang’s caliber. Upon realizing that his fights have been stacked in his favor, Rocky convinces Mickey to work with him for one last fight.

Despite his promise to Mickey to “live in the gym,” Rocky trains in a crowded hotel ballroom full of distractions. This contrasts with Lang’s solitary and determined training. The scene is particularly poignant because it shows Rocky’s vulnerability and humanity, as he comes to terms with the fact that his success was not entirely his own doing. It is also a testament to the power of mentorship and the bond between Rocky and Mickey. Overall, the scene is a beautiful portrayal of the complexities of the boxing world and the emotional toll it can take on its participants.

This scene brought tears to fans’ eyes. Rocky 3 is widely considered by fans to be one of the best movies in the franchise. Which is quite different from their opinion of the fifth installment of the franchise. Recently, an old video of Stallone sharing his least favorite Rocky movie went viral.
