Actually Rocky to Rocky 4 are all equally great. I'm watching Rocky III right now and the part where Rocky finally beats Apollo to a foot race on the beach just happened. No matter how many times I've seen this movie, it still almost brings a tear to my eye. That was a time when it was okay for two grown mean in tight fitting clothes could jump up and down and hug each other. LOL!

That would be from IV - still pissed about that one. No way in hell balboa could be drago. Lets be honest, balboa and apollo fought toe to toe and were basically the same fighter.
Drago killed appolo with like 4 punches, but when he fights rocky its goes for 30 rounds ... cute story, but lets be honest, could never happen.
I dunno- the training run in II was mighty impressive...

LOL! Actually, Dolph Lundgren is one of my idols! Did you guys know this about him?
He received a degree in chemistry from Washington State University in 1976, a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in the early 1980s, then a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney in Sydney in 1982. Lundgren holds a rank of 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate and was European champion in 1980 and 1981. While in Sydney, he became a bodyguard for Jamaican singer Grace Jones and began a relationship with her. They moved together to New York City, where after a short stint as a model and bouncer at the Manhattan nightclub The Limelight, Jones got him a small debut role in the James Bond film A View to a Kill as a KGB henchman.
and this....
Lundgren says that "my dad always told me that if I wanted to make something special with my life, I had to go to America."[5] So, after graduating from high school with straight A's, he spent some time in the United States in the 1970s on various academic scholarships, studying chemistry at Washington State University and Clemson University. He received a degree in Chemistry from Washington State University in 1976, then served his mandatory two years in the Swedish Marine Corps at the Amphibious Ranger School. In the late 1970s, he enrolled at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and graduated with a degree in chemical engineering.[5]
Amidst his years of studying, Lundgren honed his karate skills by training hard in the dojo for five years, attaining the rank of 2nd dan black belt in Kyokushin in 1978. He captained the Swedish Kyokushin karate team, and was a formidable challenger at the 1979 World Open Tournament (arranged by the Kyokushin Karate Organization) when he was only a green belt. He won the European championships in 1980 and 1981, and a heavyweight tournament in Australia in 1982.[16] Dolph continued training kyokushin karate after leaving his tournament career, when his new career allowed, and eventually graded to 3rd Dan in July 1998, in the Shinkyokushin organization of Kyokushin karate. The formal grading took place in Stockholms kyokushin karate Gym, in Stockholm, Sweden. Lundgren is often seen on Shinkyokushin tournament events, doing karate exhibitions during breaks.
In 1982, Lundgren graduated with a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney, finishing with the highest results in his class. During his time in Sydney, he earned a living as a bouncer in a nightclub in the renowned King's Cross area. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1983. However, while preparing for the move to Boston, he was spotted in the nightclub he worked at in Sydney and was hired by Grace Jones as a bodyguard.[17] He fell in love with Jones. Their relationship developed dramatically, and he moved with her to New York City.[18]
The guy is the complete package!!

Sure...here you go! The problem is that it's raining and overcast and I can't get a good enough shot that highlights the gen dial and hands.
I have some really nice leather straps...but, it also looks great on the Pam divers strap!
