RIP the great Carl Weathers, gone from us at 76… there have been lots of compelling boxing movies, but Apollo Creed is still the only screen boxer that ever made me believe he could have been a champion in real life. His acting was top notch, but his boxing was too.
Stallone didn’t make me believe, but Apollo did.
