  • Rocky Balboa's black friend.
  • Apollo was one of Rocky Balboa's best friends (the other being Paulie Pennino) and former rival. They have spent many good times together between workouts and challenges after Apollo's r edemption. In Rocky IV, Apollo fights against Ivan Drago, but is overpowered and is killed by KO. He takes his final breath in the arms of Rocky.
  • In Rocky, Creed essentially cleans out his division of serious challengers and magnanimously decides to fight rookie contender Rocky Balboa for the fan spectacle. In the film and its sequel, Balboa and Creed find themselves basically evenly matched in the ring, ending up friends by the third movie. Creed had multiple nicknames, including most prominently "The Master of Disaster". Others include "The King of Sting", "The Dancing Destroyer", "The Prince of Punch", and "The Count of Monte Fisto". A 2013 poll of former heavyweight champions and boxing writers, including former WBA heavyweight star James "Bonecrusher" Smith, ranked Creed as the second-best boxer in the Rocky series. All of Apollo's championship fights were scheduled for the 15-round distance. Championship fights did not convert
