Rocky 2 or 4.

Rocky actually has good acting, storyline, plot, development, etc. It's a great movie, with or without the boxing. In fact, the boxing plays a back seat to quality characters. Overall, it's a phenomenal "boxing" movie.

Rocky 4 is poop. Bad plot, unrealistic scenario, basically a flagship for Russia vs. USA propaganda. Also, there is NO WAY Drago would have killed Apollo Creed within the regulations of an exhibition match in the 1980's; I don't care how many steroids he was on! From a cinematic standpoint, it's the weakest of the six. The training is pretty cool, though.

Raging Bull is classic; quality flick. Cinderella Man, like Rocky, has a better story than just boxing, and it has emerged as an all-time great (pun, completely intended).

Well thats you.I enjoyed Rocky 4 since I was a small kid.If you look further into a movie,like trying to critique and looking for errors then you're not going to enjoy it fully.Movies are suppose to be for entertainment,if they were for realistic to the fullest then it would be a reality show or documentary.
