Answer 2

only  on the silver screen.

Answer 3

Well.........let's see.  The MOVIE (not real) came out in 1976.  That would make babies born that year 32 years old today.  Now I'm SURE some one named their infant son "Rocky" or "Rocco".  I'm also SURE Balboa is a real last name.  In fact, I've seen a few in the computer at work.  

Given that I would say that Rocky Balboa DOES exist.

..................then you have a few Tigers........................

.........couple of Kobes...........................

..................................some Britneys.................

.............few Madonnas...................................

............Maybe even a Laura or two from the Croft families......

h**l, Ah reckon there's  ev'm a few "Indianas" running around from the many "Jones" families here in the good ol' US of A.

Answer 4

there was a junior welterweight  journeyman boxer called jamie balboa, who borrowed the name "rocky".

this guy was used to give the top names good non title fights in preparation for a championship fight (jc chavez & meldrick taylor to name two).

but the stallone character was based on chuck wepners challenge of muhammad ali in  '75, when against all the odds, he not only floored ali, but almost went the distance....getting stopped in the 15th.

ITS THE TUNNE`S  THAT MAKES IT TEN TIME BETER THAN THE FILM IS WELL THE ACTING. ANYWAY  THE STORY OF THE  UNDER DOG   YOU CAN HAVE CHAMPIONS BUT THE ONES WHO DO IT FOR FUN  4 RD FIGTHER`S  WHO WILL NEVER MAKE  ÃƒÂ‚£15 000 EVEN IF HE AT IT 20 YEARS  FOR EVERY CHAMPION  THERE 1 000s WHO DO IT FOR LOVE  SAME AS FOOTBALL  .I BET LOTS OF KIDS TOOK UP THE SPORT OR  OPENED THERE EYES TO THE SPORT AND GET INTO BOXING MAY BE AS A FAN AFTER  WATCHING   THE FILM.
