A plot like that would make more sense. And since he had trained another fighter in Rocky 5 , that was my first thought upon seeing Rocky 6 mentioned in the headline. But the article seemed to indicate that he will have a major fight once again (as he did with Mr. T, the Russian boxer, etc. in past movies) and at age 60 that really seems pretty wild!
Here's from the article:
In Rocky VI, a lonely, poverty-stricken Balboa comes out of retirement and looks to keep his hand in with a few low-profile fights.
But his return to the ring causes a media frenzy and a promoter comes up with the idea that he should fight the heavyweight champion, Mason 'The Line' Dixon.
Stallone is understood to have been back in the gym in preparation for the role.
