Rocky Balboa is one of the most iconic figures in cinematic history and for boxing fans, the movies are the best boxing movies ever made.

But Rocky Balboa transcended boxing fans, which is why it is beloved by people across the world. The story of a down on his luck, journey man boxer who gets the chance to fight for the world heavyweight title, is inspiring. Rocky loses to Apollo Creed, but the toughness he shows in the ring and his will, heart, and desire win him over the crowd and audience.

The movie was a breakout role for Sylvester Stallone and spawned six more movies, including the most recent ‘Creed’, which stars an aging Balboa training Apollo Creed’s sun.

As it was the 80s, a part of every Rocky movie was a famous training montage. With inspirational music, the audience is brought through months of hard training camp in mere moments. The montage always shows Rocky training hard, through different methods, and always progressing in his cardio, speed, and muscle.

This video of a baby watching a Rocky training montage is not just awesome because the baby is watching, but he actually mimics Rocky’s exercises throughout. For fans of Rocky, this video can not be missed:

If you think the video is great, watch it again and think about old Mick yelling in this babie’s ear, pushing him to go farther, be faster, and be stronger!

About Rocky (1976)

Rocky Balboa is a struggling boxer trying to make the big time, working as a debt collector for a pittance. When heavyweight champion Apollo Creed visits Philadelphia, his managers want to set up an exhibition match between Creed and a struggling boxer, touting the fight as a chance for a “nobody” to become a “somebody”. The match is supposed to be easily won by Creed, but someone forgot to tell Rocky, who sees this as his only shot at the big time.
