Question about Rocky Balboa movie?

Remember during the movie Rocky was telling Pauly about him that he still got the beast in him, then after the fight with Tarver, he told Pauly the beast is out of him. What do you think that means, the beast was in him and now it was out?

The beast is his desire to fight, his hunger, his need to test himself.

Its wasn't Rocky saying those words, it was Stallone. He needed closure for the Rockey series. Same with Rambo.

Basically Rocky 5 was a crap way to end a classic series, personally I didn't like 3 or 5 I liked the 4th but a bit unrealistic, why not end the series with Rocky now old facing the champion, compare it to George Foreman's return in 1997 (I could be wrong), the way it was played out was that Rocky had that one final last hooray left in him, the beast was his desire for one final fight, and after it, the fact he went to the decision with the champion he had nothing to prove, just cos you get old doesn't mean you have to stop dreaming and desire something bad enough that if you want it you'll get it.. I enjoyed the film tho I didn't like the ending where he faded at the cemetery

Rambo 5 is coming, I hope he turns his son's house into a fortress.
