Stallone inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame

By Webmaster on June 30, 2011 / 1 min read

Actor Sylvester Stallone was officially inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York, on Sunday, June 12, 2011 for his work portraying the underdog boxer Rocky Balboa in the Rocky films.

Alongside Stallone, legendary heavyweight boxer ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson was also inducted. “I’ve never pretended to be a boxer. I don’t possess those skills,” said Stallone. “What I do think I have is an understanding of what goes on outside the ring. Outside the ring is sometimes maybe an even bigger struggle than what goes on inside the ring, and I was able to capture that.”

Stallone at International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction 2011“More than that, you also realize that our life is a constant battle,” Stallone said. “Sometimes I write things that may seem a little sentimental, but I truly believe it’s not how hard you can hit — it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward because that’s really what makes the difference in your life.”

Watch Stallone’s acceptance speech:

Stallone wrote five other movies based on the Rocky Balboa character and in 2006 was awarded the Boxing Writers Association of America award for ‘Lifetime Cinematic Achievement in Boxing.’ “They are the guys that go in there and take the blows and show that if you really put it out there on the line, you are a champion” Stallone said. “You may not be the champion of the world, but you’ll be the champion of your life.”

International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction 2011In closing, Stallone added: “Yo Adrian, I did it!”, repeating one of the most famous lines from the films.

    The Rocky Balboa character is an inspiration to those of us he has affected in our lives. Yo Rocky! You did it!

  • DinoAugust 31, 2015

    The Rocky Balboa character is an inspiration for me and many other people around the world. Someone who doesn't give up, who feels compassion and has a big heart. Thank you very very much and wish the best for you and your family.

  • Julius E. WrightJune 16, 2015

    How in the world are You in the boxing hall of fame, & You ain't even a boxer? AND, You're inducted with Tyson, & Chavez? 2 people that have done more for the sport of boxing than You could ever do? If You're in there, then Carl Weathers, Mr. T, should be, too! :-)

  • shankarJune 22, 2013

    hi i am shankar from india. sly i really love your movies. rocky was a great inspiration. i really love rocky 1 movie. your practicing with dangling meat bags. and running in streets of philadelphia and blessing you take from church father before your boxing match. but you failed to take blessings from church father in rocky 5 that is the reason why the movie did not fare well. please create script for another rocky movie.

  • loganAugust 20, 2012

    Yo Rock i am only 8 years old and i have seen all of your rocky movies.Im sorry about Sage. love Logan

  • IsakNovember 10, 2011

    Sylvester,Congratulations I am from Turkey, I was born in 1979 and follow your movies since 1988 thank you for those great movies,You gave me inspration in those movies how can get succes in my life.I want to put one question why did you not make Rocky in the years 1990 -2006 you did not think abot the retiremen of Rocky in a such early age in Rocky 5 and in my opinion Adrian should not die in Rocky 6 and why did you wait untill 2006 ? I should tell you we are waiting for Rocky 7 in Rocky 7 you should absol. be a trainer. you are a great star

  • VincentOctober 25, 2011

    Hello, my name is Vincent, I am 13 years old and I lived in France. I am the biggest fan of Sylvester Stallone. It is really an exemplary person for me. My legend preferred is doubtless "Rocky", especially " Rocky 2: The revenge ". I look at Rocky every day. Saddened if there are errors, I translated this message on the net ! In any case a small message to those who have never seen Rocky: you cannot cross(spend) a life without seeing Rocky. It is impossible!

  • Tabitha MurphyOctober 15, 2011

    Wow! I'm 45 years old and I just saw Rocky, and Rocky II! It was fantastic! I don't know why I've never seen it. Maybe because I didn't need it until now. Rocky has inspired me to not quit! Thanks & Love you Sly!

  • Giovan BattistaOctober 14, 2011

    oops I did some mistakes..I meant...That you did a LOT for sports and boxing, even if was not your main intention. (Forgot to type "A LOT")

  • Giovan BattistaOctober 14, 2011

    You deserve it, you reached a lots of goal in your life I really admire you, as a person as an actor, you did (even if maybe was not your intention..) for the sport in general and surely for boxing.You inspired people,athlets,men, women, children,adults and old people...Rocky is an Icon and YOU are an Icon. God bless you Sly (and Rocky) A fan from Italy

  • SophieAugust 7, 2011

    Dear Sly, I can't believe that I have only truly discovered Rocky at the age of 30. I have always known about the movies, but I never really took the time to watch them. Sometimes, you just don't see what's standing right infront of you. This all changed last week, I watched the first movie, and after that I was hooked, I had to watch them all. Something else that changed this week is that I started going to the gym again. I had planned to go back before I saw the movies, but what a coincidence that it all happened at the same time. Guess what's playing on my iRiver when I'm working out? :-) Rocky is a masterpiece: the story, relationships, fights, hard work, dedication, and music couldn't be better, it's all perfect! I laughed, cried, cheered, I felt these movies so much! You are a true inspiration, I admire your dedication, hard work, and talent. Congratulations on being inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame! Sophie

  • smallcatAugust 4, 2011

    Hello! I'm from Vietnam. I always scare of watching boxing but Rocky Balboa made me feel quite different. He's a great boxer but also full of love and humor. I think the writer must has something resemble his character or at least is trying to reach his character. I love Rocky Balboa and so, I love u 2, Sly :) ! Thank you and congratulation! (Sorry if my English is unable to understand ^_^)

  • Dr. Sherry Anne LintsJuly 24, 2011

    Sylvester, Congratulations on this tremendous honor. You are entirely deserving as it took a story about an underdog from Philly rising (respectfully) to top to introduce this hearing and speech impaired Gospel-singing girl from Upstate NY to the world of boxing. I have followed (and own) every Rocky film and most all of your films since 1976 and wanted to meet you for nearly 30 years to say "THANK YOU" for providing me with the source of the single greatest inspiration in my life through the character of Rocky Balboa, apart from Jesus Christ. So...thank you. Also, I thank you for taking the time to [FINALLY] meet me as you were leaving the hall of fame. Just before you headed out behind the building, and after signing a few autographs, I called out "STALLONE!" and you rounded the corner a few feet to where I was and shook my hand...twice. I was not able to capture a picture or an autograph but I was able to quickly shout "Thank You," which was barely audible above the excited crowd. In case I haven't said it yet..."Thank you" (again) for inspiring so many of us to be winners in life. Love and blessings to you (and your family), Sherry Anne

  • Heidi MertelJuly 24, 2011

    I was born in 1959 and I have been following your career since 1976. You and Arnold are by far my two favorite actors. I have a way of trying to make things happen in my life without being able to connect the circle. I have music, dance and a play at my fingertips and don't know where to take them. I really want my friends to capitalize on their talents and I know that God will direct me somehow. Where do we draw the line for our personal success and helping others? You are GREAT. Thank you for all of your hard work and inspiration.

One that enjoys his life as it comes, and realises what his priorites are. You have inspired me since I was 12 and will continue to forevermore. I am in awe of your fantastic brain and... body! Haha! Thankyou for gracing the screen many times over the years. I love you, and you are definitely a person that I will always look up to. Please come to Australia just one more time!

  • RickeGJuly 2, 2011

    Hey Sly, I don't know if you read these things or not. But, you are one hell of actor to convince boxers to put you into their hall of fame! You may be the only person in history to make it into two halls of fame: sports and acting. Having seen every Rocky film in the theater over the past 30+ years, it won't be the same going to the movies again. You have been given the gift to draw a screen play that can touch the emotion of every human being no matter where they are in life. Today, I still pull out the DVDs of the first Rocky movies and watch them with my 7 year old daughter. And despite the flaws you may flinch at today looking back at them, they were some of the best movies. They proved that it does not take a lot of money, or computer graphics, to make a great film if the script and acting is that good. Best wishes to you and your family! RickeG

  • JobinJuly 2, 2011
