When Rocky applied for a boxing license in Rocky V , he was denied, as the doctors stated he had irreversible brain damage. In this movie, according to the licensing board, Rocky passed all of his medical exams with "flying colors." They cannot both be correct at the same time.

Additionally, he never got a second opinion and yielded to Adrian's advice to quit to protect his health. See more
