    I get the impression, partly from hearing Antonio Tarver talk about how Sly could "handle" himself a bit, that Sly might have believed he had some ability, I think in some of the fights they went for it a bit. I also read tho that Norton hurt him in a rehearsal, may even have broken a rib or two, but tbh sly is what 5'6 or 7 he couldn't stand up to Norton, if he had maybe he shoula been a fighter.

    Bingo. The "Bayonne Bleeder" was the Stallone's inspiration for Rocky.
