    Earnie Shavers was the first name considered for the role of Clubber Lang so thats where you get Ernest from

    Joe Frazier was also considered


    Thats all I know - hope this helps

    Didn't Joe Frazier make an appearence in the 1st movie? Don't know if it was him in real life (it looked like it was), but he shook hands with Apollo and Rocky before the fight.

    One of the best lines from the first film,Frazier gets in to the ring and starts clowning around with Apollo Creed. Rocky turns to Micky and says,"They must be friends"
