Afraid not Tommo, Eye of the Tiger was in Rocky III.

Ooh dear, if I can't even get that one, I don't hold out much hope for getting any of the others. :-[ :-[ :-[

Okay Nige,

Not to be deterred as I enjoyed Rocky, Rocky II and Rocky III -although it was a long time ago that I saw them. So I can manage a few answers:

1)Chuck Wepner (the only boxer to fight Muhammad Ali and actually manage to knock him down while he held the title of World Champion.)
5) Mac Lee Green
7) Muhammad Ali
10) The theme to Rocky II was Bill Conti’s Redemption but the actual track played while the fight is in progress is Conquest.
12) Was going to say Joe Frazier (he had a cameo appearance in the first Rocky) , but a more correct answer is Tony Burton the actor, who boxed in real life.
17) George Foreman
18) ‘Mr T’ knocked out Rocky in the Second Round.
22) 47 Wins (including 46 K/Os) and 1 defeat (to Rocky). The fight which cost Apollo his life was an exhibition match so does not count.

Thats the piss take out of the store bar

I thought the first match was decided on points but if he has 46 ko's from 47 then that can't be right so one of us is wrong

No it was a points win to Apollo, therefore Apollo's final career stats were 47-1 (46K/Os). Tommo correctly points out that Apollo's fight against Drago was an exhibtion so it does not affect his final career record.

[NigelS]

Beefy 6 & 8 also correct

[beefy]

15) City Youth League

28) Roy Jones Junior.

27) "The line" is the Mason-Dixon line after which he was named.
This is a line of demarcation between four states in the US, with Pennsylvania in the North, and West Virginia and Maryland in the South, also Delaware to the East (other side of the Delaware River). Pennsylvania was the first state to abolish slavery, thus The Line represented a cultural boundary between North and South.
