    Didn't a prime Evander Holyfield have a similar style to Apollo Creed in terms of look and boxing form?

    lmao I never noticed it but you're totally right

    Apollo had more power though. 42-0 (42 KOs) is pretty impressive for a blown-up cruiserweight.

      Yeah, that's a fair statement. Even though Apollo was emulated off of Muhammad Ali, he boxed like Holyfield a little bit.

          Great photo, Nedlo.

          Creed was based on Ali, but I always found his personality more reminiscent of Holmes than Ali. Interesting observation, comparing him in-ring to Holyfield.

              To Be honest Apollo's style was more like Ali's in Rocky 2 and Rocky 4.

              However Apollo's style in Rocky 1 was actually based on the Ezzard Charles fights with Rocky Marciano, particularly the first fight.

                    Something else I noticed...

                    Maxon "The Line" Dixon from Rocky Balboa looks an awful lot like professional boxer Antonio Tarver.
