Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4205514, member: 44"] I was thinking exactly this. I remember Ernie Shavers was in line for getting the Clubber Lang roll in Rocky III. At one point he was asked to spar with Stallone to see if they had “ring chemistry.“. Stallone, who by that time was pretty ripped, tells Shavers to hit him once in the stomach at full power. Ernie kept on declining but Stallone insisted. Shavers hit him and Stallone literally went down in tears. He said his whole body hurt. Shavers didn’t end up getting the role, and afterwards he was asked did he really hit Stallone at full power. His answer? “About 25%.” [/QUOTE]
