    Go to about 3 mins in. This has to be unprecedented for a former fighter to have to endure this kind of thing. I can’t believe Rocky was talked into it. Lol.

    I’d like to see a modern comedian/presenter try that with Mike Tyson.

    Disrespectful ****. Rocky would've been fully justified nailing him with a Suzie Q.

    I’m surprised some of Rockys mob friends didn’t pay silvers a visit.

    Maybe Rocky getting humiliated like that was karma for mugging that young man when he was in the army?

    Luckily Rocky didn't bend over in front of Phil; might have been a real serious situation right there.

    That was admittedly a very bad thing. But He paid for that In the military prison. Two years unpaid. No doubt a humbling experience. Then completing his remaining service in a US base before returning to civilian life and turning things around as a champion boxer.

    Phil had Rocky's permission, so it's okay. By this time, Rocky was in show business. It works for me.

    I think Rocky was badly advised here. You can’t have bald comedians slapping the heavyweight champ around.

    The guy was an obnoxious arrogant ***** .. I don't care when this was made ... he's truly lucky Rocky was both a gentleman and a good sport not to mention a cool head ... very annoying to watch ..
