RIP Apollo Creed

Rocky is just one in a large grouping of movies that I've never seen.
 
I was think that Tommy Morrison actually was a heavyweight boxer, but you are still right.

Morrison was, and had a decent career. Light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver was also Rocky's main opponent in "Rocky Balboa."
Not sure either looked the part as much as Carl Weathers did.
 
I have a photographic memory of almost choking to death from laughter when he and David Cross were in Burger King together and Weathers starts talking about getting free refills.
 
That scene in Rocky IV where Creed dies absolutely had a crushing effect on 10-year old me. Great piece of cinema. So 80s.

Carl Weathers also was in Terminator. RIP
