Master got it, Creed was the best fighter Rocky ever beat. Proven by what each did as champions. Lang and Drago had the bully bump all the unbeatable monsters get but once they were beaten they were done.

And Rocky gets another typical fan reaction when he was old that he rose up to his very best on this night. No. Fighters peak when they are young. They look good on occasion when they are old due to the opponent. Put a prime Apollo in front of this old Rocky and Apollo boxes his ears off, because Rocky’s old. Old people simply aren’t as good at anything. Anything physical that is.
