"The two things that brought boxing back to the forefront with the public was the great success of the 1976 Olympic team and when Sylvester Stallone gave us our heavyweight champion -- Rocky Balboa," Hall of Famer Emanuel Steward said.
Pretty large endorsements.

No, Hanks should get the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in Forrest Gump.

Pete Rose never wrestled, but he's in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Baseball certainly does, esp. those in the early days that never even played a game, but made up the rules and such. Stallone certainly did a lot for boxing, which now is a mere shadow of its former self and will likely never regain that stature again.
