Tony Danza is the only other actor who could have played the character of Rocky Balboa and pulled it off successfully.

Danza was pretty fricken good bro. His total career record was 9-3 all fights resulting in a knockout. You can tell he was a powerfull SOB, but highly skilled guys exposed his straight forward style. You can tell he probably blocked with his head more than his gloves. Lol!! Either way still proving to be pretty darn succesfull even at the pro level. If I had a pro career and my record was 9-3 with 9 KOs I'd hold my head high. Talk about a multi-talented individual. He scored almost perfect on

I remember seeing this on an Ali tribute back in the early 90s. Right around the time Danza started doing TAXI. According to the boxrec page, he was a KO artist. Who knows how far he could have gone. Thing was that the middleweight division was a really TOUGH place to fight in the 70s and early 80s becaus of Hagler and all the guys from Philly.

There are many oldtime boxers, but we met Jake LaMotta & De Niro when they were filming Raging Bull in the late '70s. He was good friends with Gerry Cooney who lost to Larry Holmes for the Heavyweight Championship. He knew many oldtimers like Joe Louis, Willie Pep, Ben Jeby, Ruby Goldstein. We'd be at many Veteran Boxer's Banquets "Ring 8" in NYC. I was real young and was shaking hands with guys who were sweet, but very punch drunk. :)

Well..first off, he wasn't a good boxer in real life. He was simply fighting an even worse one. And second...while you could understand a decent boxer (which Tony still wasn't) giving it up for a lucrative acting career, you would NOT believe that a boxer with any sort of shot at even low level titles would give it up to drive a taxi overnight.

@Aristotelezz 7 жыл бұрын

On it's own you are right. But, this guys leg got logged in a way that prevented him from falling. That in combination with the ropes that held him up. So, is it justified for a boxer, in a such situation, to keep on punching multiple times? The rules probably say yes. But we're talking about a person who obviously can't defend himself anymore. I just saw Jones/Griffin again and my interpretation is that Jones' punches where out of a reflex. Danza's was still going for the kill.
