The first opponent we ever see of our first Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame inductee, Rocky Balboa, is the Puerto Rican pugilist, Spider Rico, a Philadelphia based club fighter who lost a rough encounter with the Italian Stallion in the film’s opening minutes. By the looks of Rico, he was in the twilight of his career and was a “bum” according to Mickey Goldmill. We however loved his brief cameo in Rocky Balboa eating at Adrain’s Restaurant.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Rocky (1976)
Rocky Balboa (2006)
Actor:
Pedro Lovell
Why You Should Vote For Him:
He is a member of the Rocky family; arguably the best sports franchise in film.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
He had a small role, and was relatively interchangeable.
