Insert "Beach Hug" joke here

(NOTE: For more information, see our previous posts from October 2005 on this same topic.)

A trailer for Rocky Balboa, the sixth film about America's favorite human punching bag, has been put online.

Somewhere in central Ohio, the Marmoset has again soiled himself from sheer happiness.


above: Sylvester Stallone beats on an opponent young enough to be his grandson.

It does raise a question for me, though: Since Rocky's boxing record is, by my count, around 675-2-0, and since he did singlehandedly win the Cold War, can he really still be "the greatest underdog story of our time", as the trailer claims? And if so, how much longer could such be the case?

And so, in the spirit of Rocky challenging anything that moves, here's a challenge of my own: I expect a response to the above question from the Marmoset (and/or his colleagues), preferably couched in full academic regalia, within one week.
