In the movie Rocky V, Tommy Gunn (played by professional boxer Tommy Morrison) seeks out a down-and-out Rocky Balboa hoping for a chance at boxing greatness. As Gunn explains, he comes from a broken home in Oklahoma and has nothing but the clothes he has with him. He pleads with Rocky to take him in dispite a poor first impression in Mighty Mick's Gym. Thanks to Rocky's experience and Tommy's talent the two soon achieve limited success winning all 22 of their first fights. Tommy however, unhappy with being viewed as a pawn for a now disabled Balboa and wanting bigger paying fights takes up with less-than-reputable promoter George Washington Duke (modeled after real life promoter Don King). The move splits the two apart, and sets the stage for the movie's climax.
Gunn is slightly taller than Balboa, and has stats very similar to Clubber Lang and fights in a similar manner without any real strategy. However, Tommy is not as quick in the ring and is slightly inexperienced. These are both keys to beating him.
