Roy Jones Jr. vs. Rocky Balboa?

Tuesday October 18, 2005
Sylvester Stallone is reportedly interested in getting Roy Jones Jr. to play Rocky Balboa's opponent, Mason "The Line" Dixon, in "Rocky 6". The latest installment in the Rocky series may begin filming as early as December of this year. Reports also indicate that Rocky will be a widow, so no Adrian (Talia Shire) - unless they go with flashbacks - but Paulie (Burt Young) will be back. The domestic box office gross for previous Rocky films were:

Rocky (1976) -- $117 million
Rocky II (1979) -- $85 million
Rocky III (1982) -- $125 million
Rocky IV (1985) -- $128 million
Rocky V (1990) -- $41 million
