A statue of fictional boxer Rocky Balboa, used as background during a famous training scene in the film starred by Sylvester Stallone, could finally be placed back at the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. The placement of the 8-foot, 6-inch bronze statue has been under debate since Stallone donated it in 1982 after the filming of "Rocky III. " The donation was declined by the art museum and since then the statue has spent two decades standing outside a sports arena in South Philadelphia. More recently, it has been in storage since it was used in the latest movie in the "Rocky" saga, the yet-to-be-released "Rocky Balboa. "
