    Valid, S, but not the answer I'm looking for.

    Think when I say what it is, posters will kick themselves (reviewing Rocky's bouts) at how obvious 'n impressive it is

    I can't wait for the answer Joe, but I'll take a stab at it in the meantime....

    How about Rocky's ability to leave every opponent he fought ruined both mentally and physically after the fight.
