Carl Weathers...that was his legal name, before he was known as Apollo, like some Greek God and ****

Balboa himself looked like Crede in the rematch with Lang. Of course it's universally known that both Rocky and Apollo went on their famous publicity tour with Creed training him

Sugar Shane! Not really, but he reminds me of Apollo for whatever reason.

Apollo = Tyson
Rocky = Danny Williams

Very good Ferocity...

The first movie was supposed to be based on Ali vs. Chuck Wepner, some no one bum, who made a decently close, competitive fight with "The Greatest".

Obviously Ali.
