Rocky Balboa (2006)

Rocky V is bad fan fiction that any Rocky fan can just ignore exists. Instead after Rocky IV, turn this one on instead. A retired and widowed Rocky Balboa is challenged by the current and unpopular heavyweight champion after Rocky is shown to beat him in a simulated fight. The side stories regarding Rocky Jr.’s daddy issues and the young girl from the original Rocky are wholly filler and unnecessary, but the rest of the film is an almost perfect conclusion to Rocky’s character arc as a boxer.
