Norris did have about 50 pounds on Bruce Lee in his prime, and had more competitive experience.

And yeah, of course Stallone isn't in the same league as Norris. He probably knows enough about boxing to be dangerous, though whether that's dangerous to his opponent or to himself is in question. Norris is still in great shape, which Stallone doesn't seem to be, and Norris is still involved in martial arts.

Random fact about Stallone: The Fonz is actually based on Sylvester Stallone. Henry Winkler was essentially doing his impression of Stallone from their time together on the set of The Lords of Flatbush.

Really Random fact: While I don't know how talented a boxer Stallone really is, I have heard that Robert de Niro really did show a lot of talent after training for Raging Bull. He went 2-1 in some real fights, and his trainer remarked that he could have been successful as a pro.

I’m looking forward to seeing the new Rambo movie. Rush said it’s pretty violent so I’m sure i’ll enjoy it. The only thing that really bothers me about stallone was that he was caught with HGH on his plane when he was in Australia, promoting his last film. Other than that stallone seems like a decent guy who appreciates his fans. Which is a rarity in hollywood.
