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.
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.
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
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
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😅
@VodkaSoda that's so cool!! Sounded like Muhammed was a big fan of the movies! How cool would be to say you got to stand in front of the champ for even just a second.
@@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
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.
@@butchstein0671 he was busted for PEDs and was named in the BALCO scandal as one of the athletes who used "the clear" an undetectable anabolic steroid. This meant that he could go for 12 rounds without really getting tired
@@butchstein0671 dude was busted on PEDs he was named in the BALCO scandal by Victor Conte if you watch fights during that period he was fighting the same in the 12th round like he did in the 1st he never really looked tired. Those De La Hoya wins look shady now
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sugar doesn't have to mention who he's fought before the video. We know... oh, we know. BEAST. I was REALLY hoping they had Million Dollar Baby as one of the films. Oh well.
Yeah I wish Southpaw was in this too. But that’s the problem isn’t it? It’s ver difficult to pick good movies about boxing (not a boxer) that aren’t in the Rocky franchise or isn’t called Southpaw.
Likely don’t have the rights. With a guy like Shane you don’t want any restrictions or distribution issues . Rocky given how much work was done with inside figures getting the rights to show extensive uninterrupted clips was their best bet
@@gfbmusic there is absolutely no way to know who will end up in what condition. Tommy Hearns is in real bad shape right now. Roberto Duran, who took a shot from Tommy Hearns that would kill most men, among numerous other absolute wars, is totally fine. There is just no way to know who is more susceptible to becoming that way.
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
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 understand his point is that the game has changed amd new age boxers are more defensive minded but I would definitely argue that there are PLENTY of boxers still willing to die on their shield of this great sport
I still remember my first time i ever stepped foot in a gym back in 2006 i saw a picture of de la hoya vs mosley I had no idea who Shane was but you quickly became my favorite fighter thank you champ!
There are underrated boxing movies that displayed way more accurate forms of boxing. The rocky movies are beyond fictional in their fight simulations . Beyond fictional. But they have great montage scenes, inspirational montage scenes
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.
For the casuals this is why Floyd fought the way he did! Sugar was a warrior and always gave great fights and this is his reward! Slurred speech, delayed cognitive responses and memory loss! 😢 Thanks Sugar
@@tnmblonewolf8799 That’s not true. Many early fights during the pretty boy Floyd era were a lot more riskier looking for knockouts and led to more injuries and damage! That’s when he started fighting more tactically while taking a lot less damage.
@@QuarantineCody Or, he just became a better fighter overall as he aged and realized that it wasn't worth to go for a knockout with no knuckles. Floyd always fought tactically, all that changed was that he busted up his hands and stopped going for the knockout.
Shane was an excellent fighter and his prime but man the damage that it can do to the nerves in your face is evident on his as a fellow fighter. It’s a hazard of the game.
My friend who i grew up with played basketball with Shane at some park in Pomona when we were in high school. He said he was one of the most down to earth cool dudes... also said he could straight ball...im in my early 40s now and always been a Mosely fan
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.
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.
it was actually Chuck Wepner's fight against Ali that inspired the movie, he was known as the Bayonne bleeder casue of all the punishment he would take in the fights
I understand why they skipped ROCKY V, since it ends with a street fight, but I wish that they had devoted a bit more time to ROCKY BALBOA.

Great insight from one of the greats, but I don’t consider the Rocky & Creed movies really boxing movies. They’re life & love stories between Rocky & Adrian and Adonis & Bianca with boxing being an allegory to the challenges that life throws at you.
At the time in Rocky’s career when Rocky 4 takes place, Rocky himself said he feels he doesn’t need to spar anymore, so he just does drills on the bag and pads with strength/cardio training.
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
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.
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.
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.
My two favorite Rocky/Creed films are Rocky 4 and Creed 2. I find the Drago's to be the best cinematic foes to both Rocky and Creed. Drago Senior was great in both.
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.
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!??
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!!
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.
I saw Shane knock out a newly released gangster in person at the park who was messing with everybody. Dude was tripping and talking bout next dude that foul me is getting knocked out. Shane smooth 10 pieced the guy with a smile on his face. He was still kinda unknown but my homie knew who he was. He was so short and quiet none of us saw it coming. I been watching him ever since.
I believe what's best for the Creed series would be for Adonis to lose to a upcoming hungry fighter pushing the series past Creed and Rocky but still give you that starting from the bottom storyline be a million dollar movie
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.
dude, you can also tell by the way he talks about it that sugar shane LOVES boxing.

This guy gets Rocky. Rocky is so relatable and Rocky loves on my heart and always will.
Dude probably won so many fights from his opponents being fixated on his mesmerizing eyes.

Right on - glad you mentioned that. Most people wouldn't know this.
He won a law-suit against stallone a few years ago and got some cash for his role in creating Rocky
I understand why they skipped ROCKY V, since it ends with a street fight, but I wish that they had devoted a bit more time to ROCKY BALBOA. Especially after his connects about the training sequence in ROCKY IV, I would have loved to hear his thoughts about the training in ROCKY BALBOA. 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.
Great insight from one of the greats, but I don’t consider the Rocky & Creed movies really boxing movies. They’re life & love stories between Rocky & Adrian and Adonis & Bianca with boxing being an allegory to the challenges that life throws at you.

Sugar Shane was a legend. Just a great fighter. Sad to see he's a little punchy but still pretty sharp...pretty much just the slurring.
Hoooly smokes Mosley was a phenomenal boxer.
Sugar Shane is the man.
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
Mosley! That’s cool. Dude had a great career.
Shoutout to Sugar Shane Mosley Lynwood’s very own! 🥊
I love how Shane is a fan of Mr T
I always enjoyed the Rocky movies but as a strategy? Using your face to block punches?
Mosley! One of the best!
Sugar is a warrior. Eloquent as well
The Drago "training scenes'"lol...no one mention Victor Conte!
That was over 20 years ago
Did you show him "Ali" the Will smith/ Michael Mann film?
This is the type of buzz i wish to achieve when i enter the pub.
His eyes are hypnotizing
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
Tim Bradley vs Provodnikov was another "Rocky Type" fight
Damn I remember watching him fight and I remember my grandpa had some of his gloves cause he trained him when he was a kid and trained his dad
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.
Should throw him into
some video games and see how he feels. Punch Out, Creed(VR), etcz
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.

nobody likes grappling when it's in an actual MMA fight let alone a damn movie
4:43 Also watch Diego Corrales vs. José Luis Castillo fight, that fight also reminds me of this scene.
with all that money, Shane never got a nose job, he keeps it real
Yeah, Stallone did base Rocky on the rivalry between Frasier and Ali. With Apollo obviously being based on Ali and Frasier, Rocky.
Sugar Shane Mosely one of my top 3 fighters
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.

Shane smooth 10 pieced the guy with a smile on his face. He was still kinda unknown but my homie knew who he was. He was so short and quiet none of us saw it coming. I been watching him ever since.
Sugar Shane was a beast!
Man the first sentence u said I couldn’t understand Shane 😂😂 respect to a legend tho
Lmao 1:15 I love Shane Mosley for that comment.
Rocky is based off of real life boxer Chuck Wepner. Stallone used his story and didn’t pay him. Wepner sued and it was settled in 2006.
It had more to do. That Stallone used Wepners Name and fight against Ali to promote the movie. The Story itself was a little Different than Wepners.
This guy is a legend!

I believe what's best for the Creed series would be for Adonis to lose to a upcoming hungry fighter pushing the series past Creed and Rocky but still give you that starting from the bottom storyline be a million dollar movie
Notice how Rocky went orthodox in the second fight to protect his eye yet every other movie after that he was southpaw again with no eye issue.
I stopped watching boxing 20 years ago. I didnt know his son is a pro boxer 💪🏽
He started late but he's pretty good
Definitely a contender
