Even when it doesn't do anything other than cause the wrestler to focus on him instead, Paulie doesn't back down and says, "I don't sweat you!" while preparing to fight Thunderlips.

** One moment that stands out from Rocky's title defense fight montage is his match against the German Champ. After successfully scoring a knockout, the very next shot has Rocky helping the guy back onto his feet, even hugging and patting him on the back in congratulations for a hard fight. Even better, a photo of that moment is what's used in the headline papers with a caption on how Rocky has won over the European fight fans. Just goes to show that while boxing is what made Rocky famous, it's his kindness and heart outside the ring that made him beloved.

* While mostly a TearJerker, Rocky at Mickey's funeral reciting a Judaism prayer with the help of a Rabbi is pretty heartwarming. Rocky himself is a Devout Roman Catholic, and the fact that he respects his trainer/mentor/father figure so much that he prays in Mick's religion, just shows how much he loves Mick.

* Mickey revealing to Rocky that the ten title defenses were all set ups. Mickey DID pick good fighters, but only those who wouldn't be as bad as Apollo was, just to make sure Rocky wouldn't get seriously hurt and have his lively-hood threatened.

* Apollo Creed steps in to help Rocky train, not only wanting to see Clubber Lang get humiliated, but wanting to see to it that Rocky legitimately wins a match.
* Pretty much any scene involving Rocky and Apollo crosses into heart warming territory. It helps that they used to be rivals, and now [[BashBrothers they become just like brothers]].
** Especially the final bit of the training montage where they [[ManHug exchange hugs.]]
** Cemented even further when Apollo pretty much gives Rocky his shorts.
--> "Make sure you wash it before you give it back, now."
** After all that training Apollo and Duke gave Rocky, what does Apollo ask for return? A personal, friendly rematch with Rocky.
* Once again, Rocky winning the big match. This time, he won it all on his own without relying on tricks and raw endurance, but with true skill. How happy he looked when that bell rang seals it in.
