Creed II rumours?

Except that that wouldn't make sense; Apollo Creed was a long retired fighter, looking to come back and make a bit of coin fighting a novice pro in an exhibition.

If Creed beats Wheeler, he'd basically be the light heavyweight kingpin just peaking as a pro.

Well I think you had a pretty good idea of a scrip but this IS holywood I mean Rocky was like 50 something in last Rocky(real life Sly was like 60)and fought the Champ(Tarver)and gave him he ll of a fight.So would not put anything past them.To me its already dead I thought Creed was OK but nothing special.

Maybe Drago could be like Loma some Olympic type freak ready to challenge early in the pros. Release the 3rd Creed movie 2 or so years after the 2nd which allows Creed some defences and Drago to fight 15 times and call out Creed after every fight he wins on the way up. Mocking his deceased father and turning it into a grudge match and super fight.

Not sure how realistic that'd be, tbh. Then again, we're just sharing opinions anyway

I think all alpha bit titles would work as far as value.Esp WBA and all there interim,regular,super regular,regular unleaded.I watched how the WBO became "legit"more and more writers naming them.I don't even like to write ibo we REALLY cant afford a 5th lol

I still don't really count the WBO, but that's another story.

thought southpaw was much better although critics dont seem to agree

But even in Rocky Balboa, the only way they made it even remotely competitive was the champ didn't really take the fight camp seriously, Rocky had to train like a ****ing lunatic, and the champ basically blew his arm out early in the fight.

And even then, he still lost the fight.

For all the ridiculous of Rocky, a certain level of viability was inherent in all of the films.

Yea it started in 88 but don't count guys who won it before calzage and Barrea had it.Hard to call anyone a titlest even when they made Camacho(who had fought only ONE top 20 guy at weight(H Davis)and Mancini who had NEVER fought at 140 and had not fought in 5 years!! And lost last 2.Joke I don't concider ODLH a titlest at 130 for beating J Bredall not even a top 10 fighter.And to me there is a difference between a titlest and a CHAMP.

I agree about that with 1st 4 and prob Creed but I thought the 6th one was pretty out there.5th was just bad lol.But the 1st is still a classic Apollo Creed "master of disaster" played a big part for me.Funny that song if I hear it in right mood still makes me wanna throw a few combo's lol.

Did not like that one but thought Bleed For This was pretty good.The Duran movie was OK but could of been a h ell of a lot better.Should have shown a lot more of early life and more on his 135 reign and how he got that rep as a monster.And also the Moore fight which made panama forgive him and made him a star again.Guess that would have been pretty long but would have been great for me.
