You lost that fight for all the wrong reasons. We held the greatest title in the whole world, babe. Make it right for yourself or you’ll be sorry you didn’t. Hell, every fighter knows that hurt, and we get sick inside trying to live with it, so don’t back off now. Look, man, when you beat me, I hurt all over and I didn’t wanna know from nothin’ or nobody – not even my kids. Rocky, never much for words, asks Apollo why he’s there. The same man who was at ringside serving as a guest commentator when he saw Rocky get clobbered by Clubber Lang, a man Apollo quickly came to despise.
The man was Apollo Creed, the same man Rocky beat in the rematch in Rocky II to earn the title. In the next scene we find Rocky in the dark at Mickey’s gym, toiling around in the agony of his own footprints when his cathartic jab at the punching bag is chastised by a sharp-dressed man standing in the shadows.
A few minutes before the “Eye of the Tiger,” scene, Rocky had ridden his motorcycle to the steps of the recent-erected Rocky statue and threw his motorcycle helmet at the statue, thereby epitomizing his lack of faith in anything he has earned or accomplished. Rocky was still suffering and in shock from the three rounds in which he lost both his heavyweight title to Clubber Lane and, more importantly, his mentor to a stroke. The scene started presumably either in the late evening or early morning, some time after Rocky, Adrian and Paulie laid Rocky’s trainer, Mickey, to rest at the mausoleum. Preface: Background Behind Apollo Creed’s “Eye of the Tiger” speech Don't forget to visit your mother.Ĭredit and many thanks to several people for donating this monologue, it is very much appreciated.In keeping with the truth behind the quote’s meaning, let’s go back to the beginning. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life. I'm always gonna love you no matter what.no matter what happens.you're my son, you're my blood.you're the best thing in my life. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointin' fingers sayin' you ain’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!. You, me, nobody is gonna hit as hard as life! But it ain't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep movin' forward, how much you can take.and keep movin' forward.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
Let me tell you something you already know. But somewhere along the line you changed.you stopped being you.you let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good.and when things got hard you started looking for somethin' to blame.like a big shadow. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world and you did. This kid is gonna be better than anybody I ever knew.and you grew up good and wonderful it was great just watching you everyday it was like a privilege. (Rocky holds up his right hand) I’d hold you up and say to your mother, this kid is gonna be the best kid in the world. Rocky: You ain’t gonna believe this.but you use to fit right here.
