Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone has become the poster boy for celebrity boxers. He was one of the pioneers in making the sport mainstream after the immense success of his boxing movie franchise, ‘Rocky’. In fact, even at the age of 76, ‘Rocky’ is still involved with the sport and trains whenever he gets the chance.

Watching the Rocky movies, one would think that Stallone was a highly skilled boxer; but the reality might be far from it. This was proved after Stallone posted a behind-the-scenes video of him practicing his moves for a fight scene back in July.
In the video, he can be seen punching a stuntman who doesn’t retaliate in any manner. He even revealed that this scene would be later edited and made into a fight sequence.

Another asked if any actual fights broke out on the set. “Any actually fights break out? People getting mad? I bet that’s rough,” he wrote.
