In an era where villains were usually one-dimensional, Apollo was a breath of fresh air as a character. The fact that he was given more detail despite being “antagonistic” in the 2nd film, and going on to be one of Rocky's close friends in the 3rd film was nothing short of excellent writing. This is why Apollo Creed is the Greatest. Let's talk about his duality with Rocky in Rocky II, his legacy, his fighting style, and more.
