Corrected entry: According to the 'movie timeline', we know Mickey passes away in August 1981. Shortly after Mickey's death, when Clubber is being interviewed about his upcoming re-match with Rocky, one of the sportscasters makes mention that Rocky's attempt at a comeback at "34" are pretty long indeed. However, during the rematch fight in Rocky II with Apollo (movie timeline has that fight in November 1976), one of the commentators says Rocky is "31 years of age". That fact would put Rocky's birth year sometime in 1945. Rocky could not have been 34 right after Mickey's death in late 1981. He would have been at least 35, if not 36.

Correction: In Rocky 1, when Paulie talks about Adrian, he says "She's pushing 30". Rocky replies "I'm 30 myself". So in Rocky 1, he is 30 in 1976. In film time, Rocky III takes place 3 years later - this is referred to several times, so Rocky would be 33-34 throughout the duration of Rocky III.
