Paulie


He pissed all of his money away.


Rocky was secretly in love with Paulie from the beginning. Adrian was just a surrogate.

Oh, and Drago was his most intimidating foe. I never found Clubber to be that intimidating. I think he was supposed to be based on Mike Tyson but for some reason Mr. T just didn't come across as that scary an opponent to me.

Nah Tyson was 15 when Rocky 3 came out.

He was actually more based on George Foreman and Sonny Liston. They were the wild, menacing badass bullies that came before and around the Rocky III era.

Tyson himself was basically a modern version of Liston.

Well of course not. No one on tigerdroppings would be afraid of a young Mr T. We're all very badass here.
