…yeah, I know that it’s an obvious thing to say but for there to be a Rocky, there had to be an Apollo and Carl Weathers was perfect as that character because he provided that adversary/the opponent and ‘enemy’ in the ring…but was everything that gained respect and friendship outside of the ring…?….Carl Weathers created someone that was very multi faceted and believable as a character because as an opponent, he mirrored and matched the hero of the movies…and it’s rare that we’re equally led to love both characters…
