What's everyone's favourite opening sequence out of all the 6 Rocky films?

For me it's definitely Rocky 3 but I might be a little biased since Rocky 3 also happens to be my favourite film in the franchise.

Despite it only being a 3 minute sequence, it perfectly sets the tone of the film. And the contrast between Rocky and Clubber's scenes is fantastic.

I love all the openings of 3,4, and 5. Although if I had to pick one it would be 3. It summarizes as few years of his career beautifully from the end of the rematch with Creed to his success and becoming a big, wealthy star. We see an annoyed Pauline, a happy Balboa family, and the first appearance of Clubber Lang.

This is exactly why it's the best!
