Rocky theme song dance
Paul Williams, when at the peak of his PR stunt-orchestrated reputation of being the sport's most feared fighter, came into the ring to this song and also with an out-of-character Mohawk hair style as well to face the very hungry and underestimated Puerto Rican challenger Carlos Quintana. Many boxers used this song as their ring entrance, including most notably the often underrated heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. McFadden and Whitehead's "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" is a proud confident positive upbeat fight anthem. Many fighters still use "Mama Said Knock You Out" when they train and even enter the ring. Since this song became popular, several fighters have even stolen lines from this song to use when being interviewed by the media. When this song first came out I recall seeing LL Cool J on MTV explaining that he brought his mom to an award show and she said to him "come on, son, you can knock out all of these guys" referring to his direct musician competitors, obviously metaphorically (but probably literally, too, since this was the time LL was seriously hitting the weights and transforming his body into that of a body builder).

The song is full of tributes to the sport of boxing and related metaphors with lines talking about Muhammad Ali, shadow boxing, and of course the opening line: "Don't call it a comeback!"

The song came out in 1990 when boxing was still on the main stage of the world.

(Minus probably his diss tracks in response to his past beef with rapper Canibus) LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" is probably the rap legend's hardest song that he ever recorded.
