"There are no small parts. Only small actors". Anthony Burton was a giant. The series never would've been the same without him.

"He's not a machine, he's a man!" That quote gives me chills. RIP Anthony.

Very good supporting actor. Never got the credit he deserved. R.I.P. Tony. :-(

Such an important character in every Rocky he was in. His intensity in three, four, and Rocky Balboa behind Rocky was like a continuation of Mickey. RIP.

RIP Mr Tony Burton, thanks for creating such a legendary character on the Rocky movies. You will be missed.

Duke was a FANTASTIC choice for that role. Then again so was Apollo.

The way rock repeats that last “no pain”. Man. I loved how Duke brought out another level of Rocky. RIP Anthony. Brilliant performance.

“YOU SEE!!! HE’S NOT A MACHINE!!! HE’S A MAN!!! One of the most memorable moments of the ROCKY films for me... R.I.P. TONY BURTON an inspiration on film and in Real Life Always be Remembered

One of the greatest!!!! I admire his body of work!!

The way he uncomfortable sits up on his chair when Rocky is on tv in the meat cooler is one of the subtle little things that he did to make this character so believable.

As a young kid growing up, Toney Burton used to give me chills with his intensity!

Duke has always been my favourite character in the Rocky franchise and Tony Burton just owned the part. I think my favourite Duke moment is from Rocky IV after the second round where Rocky cuts Drago and Duke gives the "You got him hurt bad, now he's worried. You CUT him! You HURT him! You see? You see? He's NOT a machine, HE'S A MAN!" line.

Dang....didn't know I missed someone so much, rip friend

Tony burton did such a n awesome job in rocky one of the best characters created and he was a great man

If everyone had a “Duke” in their lives, the world would be a better place.

So sad 😞. Underrated actor. RIP Tony Burton.

This man was the most talented and motivating actors of all time you felt this man's energy being delivered off the screen and into you.

So many memerable characters in the entire series and Tony Burton was defiantly one of them. It wouldn't be the same movie without his performance.

We love and miss you tony burton

Notice how everyone in Apollo Creed's Office looks professional? In 2017, that type scene is a thing of the past. Sad but true.... Man how I wish I had a trainer like Tony Burton. My life would've been so different. Mr. Tony Burton, may you RIP Sir. I know the Lord has welcomed you into his kingdom.

Rocky: "I see three of him out there.." Paulie: "Hit the one in the middle.." Duke: "Yea Hit the one in the middle..." 😂😂😂

I saw you beat that man like I ain’t never saw no man get beat and the man kept coming after you

R.I.P one of the greatest rocky characters

I love how in the Rocky franchise, everyone picks up the torch to get to the goal. When Mickey died, Apollo stepped in. When Apollo died, Duke stepped in. With Duke gone, Rocky is now the coach.

such a great actor and very inspiring rest in Paradise mr Burton

RIP to a true legend. His acting was off the charts in the rocky movies , he put so much heart into his character.

This may be the best video on KZfaq. One of the great underrated actors in film history. His presence is so powerful that his scenes seem much longer than they actually are. Every appearance is a textbook lesson of what great acting looks like, as if he's saying to the rest of the cast and the viewer "...this is how it's done."

My favorite Duke moment is a VERY underappreciated one, and one rarely noticed: When he jumped on Drago's trainers when they tried to grab Rocky after Rocky took Drago to the mat. Duke was ready to fuckin throw DOWN

Tony Burton had played such an important part in all of the "Rocky" films. His knowledge and skills as a manager and trainer to both Apollo and then to Rocky in the later films was the guiding force in their respective successful boxing careers.

He's yours. He's yours. "This bum shouldn't be in the same ring with you". What a great little scene.

5:28 perfect narrative to match Rocky's triumph.....DAMN GOOD.

The man is a hero,great actor!!! Watched the movies literally hundreds of times..but just now i realized what a great character it whas in the rocky movies.

You gotta love Duke. He had a huge heart. Loved Apollo like a son and was always looking out for what was best for him. He also always respected Rockly as a real fighter no mater his low He was on the totem pole in the early days and was more than happy to be in his corner when him and Apollo team up and after Apollo passed. He a champion trainer, mentor and friend. One of a kind character

Tony Burton was so believable in this role , for years I thought he was a real boxing trainer they hired for the movie ! RIP my brother .

4:50 and 6:44: the inspirational speeches of my childhood! (Along with Rocky's speech to his son before departing to Russia.) And they still inspire me today. I wonder if Mr Burton had any idea of the effect he had on millions of fans the world over through these scenes... Thank you so much sir, and may you rest in heaven.

Tony Burton did an absolutely outstanding job playing the role of Duke. Some of the best “motivizational” lines came from his character. We will miss you Tony, thanks for the memories.

Duke knew Rocky was bad business as soon as he saw him hitting that frozen meat.

Great character actor 70's 80's 90's and 2000's

"YOU CUT EM!'" "YOU SEE!! HE'S NOT A MACHINE! HE'S A MAN!" I always think of that part when I workout,it makes me give just a little bit more of all I got. Rip Tone😥

I love when Apollo says "You ain't stopping nothing, man. You ain't stopping nothing".

He delivered some of the best lines in the entire series.

I always liked Duke. Was sad to hear about Tony's passing. R.I.P. Tony Burton/Duke.

This guy was awesome.

Rocky 4 is where Tony really shined. He basically filled the role of Apollo and Micky single handedly and without question.

"Let's start buildin' some hurtin' bombs!" Thank you for this wonderful tribute video.

The memorial of every single actor is perfect. Really perfect I am an Rocky Expert think nobody never ever saw this movies more times than I. I am from german and man I am telling you you have done a great job. The times year everything is right.

It’s amazing watching the whole series and seeing how old they get, it really got to me when I see burton in the last film. Legendary

He was so great in the series.

"He doesn't know its a damn show, he thinks it's a damn fight, finish this bum and let's go home"

wow. great character. RIP Tony A.K.A. Duke. his speeches in Rocky 4 "you see you hurt him, no pain no pain". damn goose bumps. no one gave speeches like Duke

We don't need a man like this in our life but he keeps hitting the middle.Tony Burton was classic !

"...but in the end I know you'll be the one standing." *Rocky raises his fists in victory* Perfect and epic editing there my friend. My eyes got misty.

What can I say about Duke... R.I.P we will always remember you.

Tony and Mickey were the souls of the Rocky franchise. RIP Tony Burton

Excellent memorial! In the words of Paulie (Rocky 4): “great job Rocko! I couldn’t have done better myself!”

What a beautiful tribute. The Rocky films have been with me all my life and have helped me through dark times more than once.

0:41 Joe Czak was one of the first boxers in the title-defense montage that opened Rocky III to "Eye of The Tiger."

Tony Burton was a Great Man ! "Duke" in Rocky.. We will never forget you..We grew up with You , Carl Weathers & Burt Young in Rocky movies..Great Actors .. Excellent performance.. Your loss is huge and I can't describe how sad I am..But you inspired us for our whole life ! We love you ! ! !

Great tribute! He was the quiet storm in Rocky series. I love the scene where he tells Apollo "let it go, I know what you're feeling, let it go. You're the champ!"

An excellent tribute, thank you

The man most of, if not all of the best lines of the entire franchise. It simply could not have been the same without him. Thanks for the awesome childhood memories!❤

Tony Burton and Burgess Meredith the most important trainers in Rocky's life and career have departed this world. Huge and heavy losses. 😪😪

Once they became friends, Tony was always there for Rocky.

Tony Burton was born to play the role of Duke, Nobody could've played it Better...''RIP''

Thank you so much for making this video. I LOVE Duke! He is such a cool, underrated character. One of my favorites not only in the ROCKY films, but in film period.

“I saw you beat that man, like I ain’t saw any man get beat before, and he just kept coming after you...” I favorite line in the whole movie!!! Scene gives me chills every time

Rest In Peace Tony Burton 🙏🙏💔😢

Very well done video. I always had much respect for Tony Burton. Thank you.

I always loved Duke. One of my favorites was when Rock beat Lang and he was the first in the ring to congratulate Rocky by jumping the ropes.

Mr. Burton was perfect for the Rocky movies.

Duke was the beat trainer in the franchise. The only reason Apollo lost in the rematch was because he didn’t listen to him. “Stay away from him! Don’t go for the knock out and you’ve got it won” Creed went for the knockout and well....we know the rest! RIP Legend!

Always loved this guys performances in the rocky movies r.i.p. legend

Well done, very well done! RIP.

Duke had the best quotes in all of the Rocky films. “I saw you beat that man like I never seen no man get beat before and the man kept coming after you.” RIP

Probably my 2nd favorite character... love

Beautiful video man.... Duke was awesome!

So sad Tony's gone. Our life's are so short, we're losing all the great actor's, we'll be gone soon.

Man every scene he was in was just 🔥🔥

Absolutely love his character. So underrated. But those who know, know. Long live the Duke!!!

Thank you so much for rememorising his characters. In the limelight of Rocky and Apollo he was sidelined.

Wonderful actor Tony Burton. Always thought of him as the best supporting actors in Rocky. He is missed. R.I.P. Tony.

This guy was great. RIP. Thank you for the inspiration. Great acting.

I love these videos. Tony Burton played the complete trainer. As a powerlifter I wish I had someone like Duke training me. I still train but man could I use a Duke pushing me in the gym. RIP Tony Evers.

R.I.P. the great Burton

He was good in assault on precinct 13 too, he brought authenticity and intensity to roles.

Tony Burton was so well-cast in this role. Everything he did was delivered with such heart and conviction. Such an underrated factor in the success of the franchise. RIP Tony Burton.

“You’re the champ, you’re the best. The best of all time. I want you to show him who you are tonight. Show him who you are tonight! Stick him!”

Such a beautiful character he played and a wonderful actor Tony Burton was. He will be missed 😪

I love it! Thanks for the memories Tony burton.

what an awesome tribute video, well done. RIP Mr Burton, your work in Rocky was legendary!

This has been out there for a bit, but GREAT job on this tribute to Tony Burton!

The actors in the Rocky movies are legendary

Tony was FANTASTIC.The way he delivered his lines was an A+, His character was totally believable.

"Yo, he can't train to that jungle junk music." -- Paulie, expert trainer

I’m so glad I just watched this. Very inspiring and impressively real

“RIGHT!!! Hit the one in the middle.” That line always cracks me up. Duke was the backbone to the whole Rocky franchise. RIP to such a great actor.

Rip Tony Burton you were real deal as a boxer as a trainer and my favorite character in the whole Rocky saga

Man, This Memorial Rocks!!....

If you watch the franchise over and over like i have, duke is this incredibly serious and awesome character. And when he comes into the fold so naturally and takes over as rockys trainer so seamlessly and when he explodes in rocky 4 “hes a man!” Its just the greatest moment in any sports movie.

Well done tribute!!!
