How Apollo Creed became Champion | What If #4 (R.I.P. Carl Weathers!)

How Apollo Creed became Champion | What If #4 (R.I.P. Carl Weathers!)

PART 1 OF "WHAT IF" ROCKY STORYLINE

The Rocky franchise hails Apollo Creed as the greatest of all time, but never elaborates on how he came to be such before the events of the first film. Well, it's time we fill that gap. This is how Apollo Creed became the heavyweight champion and established himself as the GOAT during the Golden Age 1970s. In tribute to the legend, Carl Weathers. Rest in peace, sir.

Having Don King and George Washington Duke in the same universe sounds like chaos

[kaijudirector]

HOLY…

I asked for this a while back I recall! God bless you man! I guess this also explains why Apollo likes Rocky - Apollo was an underdog too, once.

Now this is what I like! The diverse range you bring to the table, not only on real-life boxing but also on iconic characters like Apollo Creed from the cinematic world. It's refreshing to see someone who understands and celebrates the impact of both real and fictional boxers. Keep up the fantastic work, looking forward to more engaging videos!! ❤❤🥊

This was a great What if bro!! RIP to Carl Weathers

[benneidl]

I love it! This is even better than I thought it could be when I requested the video! Thanks, dude.

[davidmccann]

Love this and looking forward to 'Rocky the 10 defences'. Where was Apollo Creed from, was it Los Angeles?

[rightmunted]

A part 2 would be hard to make. Good luck finding out how rocky had an all-time title run fighting "setups" in the age of Larry Holmes.

[staraptorflock]

The real life events being in Rocky always confused me this should be fun

[staraptorflock]

You didn’t miss any details you even remembered the rumble in the jungle reference in Creed 3

[danthaman]

I'm a big fan if your channel.
I'd like to see you post a video on boxing's urban legend's. Ie Cassius Clay throwing his medal into the Hudson River or whether or not Willie Pep won a round without throwing a punch.

[therealDJG]

Oh this is great! I’ve always wondered how the title reigns in Rocky meshed with real life.

10:06 This is the post manilla ali. Yeah, alis is getting stopped, but he won't stay down

[MrManWithPlan]

I’m gonna honestly say this video rocks. One thing though. I honestly think George would have beaten apollo. Apollo was really arrogant and I doubt he would have taken Foreman’s power seriously. I mean neither did Frazier as you can see 💀. Anyway that’s just my thoughts. God tis video was so cool

[miguelguzman]

Hearing Ali getting almost knocked out cold is crazy

[staraptorflock]

Do Tommy Morrison and Tommy Gunn both exist here? Does Mason Dixon and Antonio Tarver both exist in the same universe as well?

Ali is the first one to stop oscar
Creed is the second to stop oscar

[shadicalplayz]

In this Timeline, is Creed retaining the WBA, WBC & The Ring titles?

[donovanwilliams]

"The Count of Monte Fistooo..."

[mohamedabdelhalim]

What is the name of the song that ali use in his early career?
