I respectfully disagree with both of you. I believe Rocky's peak was when he beat Apollo in Rocky 2. Mickey trained him to be at his best ever and he was a fighting machine who would not be denied. Rocky had the eye of the tiger, he was hungry and wanted it for his wife and new born child.

Rocky beat a fully motivated, great champion in Apollo Creed. He would not be denied.

That Rocky would have beaten a prime Muhammed Ali and Joe Louis that night.
