I always thought that the fuss around the Rocky saga was worth a few spinoffs. After seeing that a not exactly terrific movie like DareDevil generated its spinoff, the ugly among the ugliest "Elektra" (God bless Jennifer Gardner's body anyway) I am SURE that few occasions were truly wasted.
So........here are few ideas of mine:
1) Mickey Goldmill: his prime, his rise and fall, his loss due to the fact he didn't have a manager, his determination to become one and pass all that he learned to a guy worth passing that
2) Clubber Lang: 11th son of a huge family from Chicago, his juvenile jail time for stealing to eat, his learning of the boxing basics in prison, his coming back to freedom and becoming a pro, what cemented his anger, his rise and, surprise, his re-gaining of the title right after the Balboa-Drago bout in Moscow (with Rocky retired). His retiring as World Champ.
3) Duke Evers: from being a bum to become a trainer and a manager and the discovering of a teenager who would have become one of the greatest boxers ever, Apollo Creed
4) Drago into pro boxing after the fall of the Soviet Union, his 50-0-0 pro record and the gain of the World Title only to retire undefeated, possibly some involvment of Rocky as a menthor for his career (not a manager), stressing the fact that he won the russian bout with his heart and that is all Drago needs to become champ in the pro
