Can ‘Rocky’ make it to the sixth round?

Sylvester Stallone has gotten the green light to make "Rocky 6." No word on exactly who granted the green light, presumably Satan. There is such a concept as too much of a good thing. "Rocky" is a classic, no doubt about it. A feel good underdog story that inspired a nation to wake up at dawn, eat raw eggs and jog. "Rocky 2", as sequels go, was pretty good. "Rocky 3", okay, all the oddball charm of "Rocky" was gone by now but not bad. "Rocky 4", with the evil Russian commie robot "Drago", as played by Dolph Lungren, well, enough said. "Rocky 5", frankly, I didn't see it, but I'm pretty sure no one left the theater after watching "5" and said, "Man, I sure hope there's another one!" Yet, that is exactly what Sly has up his sleeve. It was hard enough during the earlier installments to suspend our disbelief to the point of accepting a 40-something, 5'6 white guy as heavyweight champion of the world. By the time "6" comes out Stallone will be 60. Rocky may as well be played by Abe Vigoda at this rate.

Maybe he'll fight Abe Vigoda.

My son-in-law swears Rocky will fight Larry King.

I don't know who Stallone will fight but I heard it has posed a problem with wardrobe people. They had to make special boxing trunks which didn't show the Depends.
