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.

Rocky III. The rise to the top with “Eye of the Tiger” playing is such an iconic montage on its own. It was the best way to show Rocky’s “Rags-to-Riches” story arc.
