  • Apollo was AWESOME!

  • The Count of Monte Fisto

  • @collegefootballrulez The Master of Disaster!

  • @bber45 The One, the ONLY, .....................

  • @collegefootballrulez That's right! It time to go school!

  • @bber45 **THUD**

    You will lose.

  • I can't believe George Benson was such a good fighter!

  • The King of Sting.

  • The Master Of Disaster

  • A young Apollo Creed would beat Ivan Drago for sure! Nice tribute dude ;)!

  • @XtremeItachou

    Ivan can em all

  • @XtremeItachou Young, hungry Apollo would have humiliated Drago

  • God his boxing style is so smooth the way he floats and dances around the ring his punches are so pretty. His style reminds me so much of Ali.

  • I've watched this about 6 times today.

  • WrestleMania 17.

  • its the count of monte fisto 

  • Apollo creed ! he was the main opponent of rocky 1 and 2. And in rocky3 ,hey got rocky's eye of the tiger back! Just wow :)

  • Apollo was based on who else? Guess? Muhammad The Greatest Ali. This character had evrything Ali had. the arrogance, boxing style. Gift of gab.

  • apollo should have won Rocky II. the ending was bs.

  • Great upload*****One of my all-time favorite movie characters. By far my favorite performance by Weathers, who also did the BEST job acting as a boxer in the ring. His movement was fluid and believable. You could tell that he spent considerable time watching Ali bouts for his ring movement/cherography. Awesome job!

  • The dancing destroyer

    The king of sting

    The Count of Monte Cristo

    The master of disaster

    The Deceased, Apollo Creed

  • @WeskerResident that's funny man but it's fisto

  • apollo creed el mejor!!!!

  • carl weathers uses footwork and timing, but his opponents like sylvester stallone are flat-footed and move straight forward and straight back.

  • @SardaukarNo1 Naw, Carl Weathers uses good choreographers. Its just too bad he didn't get more work. He has the talent, he just needed the right parts (in movies). Lets not forget "Predator".

  • carl weathers uses footwork and timing, but his opponents like rocky are flat-footed and move straight forward and straight back.

  • GREAT VIDEO!! Nice tribute!

  • carl weathers could have been a boxer....his hands were pretty fast for his size. almost at welterweight speed.

  • @sn83 dats getting way too far ahead...more lik light heavy weight speed or even middle weight

  • @moneykellzgot1 yea ill give you that but he still hella fast for a heavyweight

  • more like sinatra's did it my way. carl weathers is imitable

  • you know what, it was actually Apollo who defeated Drago, like a combo of both. Rocky was tough and had a lot of heart, Creed who was also tough possessed way more skill, so basically Rocky had to become Apollo to defeat Drago...just a though.

    Props the Dolph for being a bad ass too, he was sick in the Expendables.

  • He has the same style as Muhammad Ali ! amazing

  • lmfao the music complimented the footage perfectly

  • Awesome video tribute! Fantastic.

  • Too bad Drago killed apollo, he was an ace character

  • Did anyone noticed that his character was based muhummad Ali, balboa was based off of Marciano and Clubber Lang off of George Forman

  • @grosskopf2 that's why apollo is so awesome! I think Apollo Creed woulda owned Ali thou :p

  • @grosskopf2 I see more Sugar Ray Leonard in Apollo than Muhammad Ali

  • @grosskopf2 Rocky has a Marciano influence but Rocky, especially in the first and second movie, fights a lot like Jake LaMotta.

  • call me stupid or whatever but when i see the good old rocky movies with apollo creed he is like vegeta from dragonball z and the other way too i dont no why they both have their pride i they would die for it and both fighter even if one of it is a cartoon but whatever :D

  • @adanasbestkiller a lot of other ppl see da comparison 2

  • Without Apollo Creed, there would have never been a Rocky Balboa as Heavyweight Champion! APOLLO CREED MADE ROCKY BALBOA, both in and out of the Ring.

  • Limp Bizkit

  • A beatiful tribute to Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed with a limp bisket song.

  • I am truly a fan of Apollo Creed. I could care less about Rocky. Apollo's physique is what give me inspiration to work out.

  • apollo was a brilliant character....one of the best characters of all time. THE MASTER OF DISASTER

  • @Philly2dabone Rocky is great... but Apollo es AMAZING! ... Drago is a miserable.

  • siempre seras el mas grande apollo!!

  • I loved Apollo Creed and the biggest mistake in the Rocky series was killing Apollo. If he had say went into a coma and had woke up in the end of the movie I feel Rocky V and Rocky Balboa would have been better movies.

  • @amensupremera Agreed...his death was like that of OP in TFTM

  • @amensupremera totally agree with you. killing Apollo is the biggest plot mistake in the series. and it's unfair he's hardly mentioned in R5 & R6, not even a flashack, nothing. not fair.

  • Prime Apollo would've made Drago look silly for 15 rounds.

  • ali got married in my hometown. south shields. beat that.

  • "Man, I won but I didn't beat him." Only a true competitor could ever know that feeling. Most people don't care how they win, they will lie to themselves.

  • @Polarcupcheck Excellent point,and an astute observation...Sly knew what he was doing when he was coming up with the concept for these movies.I really enjoyed the first 4,but 5 kinda lost me,and I haven't seen all of 6 yet.

  • I think Apollo would have beaten drago any day he was just over confident. As for lang creed could have kicked his ass with one hand

  • Carl Weathers played the Apollo Creed character GREATLY!!!!

  • @goUnitas19 I don't think it could have been done any better.

  • The song SUCKS on 1000000% BUT APOLO is very GOOD :)

  • Rest in Peace :(

    If he dies...He dies

  • He use to play Pro Football for the Raiders...

  • It's so funny the way he looks at his trainer Duke after Duke tells him to 'let it go' . Like the way he rolls his eyes...hahaha. Carl Weathers is some actor.

  • Rocky 1 was based on the fight between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner, In Rocky 3 when Rocky fights Thunderlips that was based on when Chuck Wepner fought Andre the Giant

  • MACHINE!

  • Ya in rocky II he was awsome

  • did anybody else think carl looked like an amazing boxer in this film?

  • Apollo was based on Muhammad Ali

  • @NeWsOuNdRaVe

    I did =D

  • "you the best!"

  • great job,good choice of music

  • APOLLO CREED

  • love this character in the movie

  • I truly liked the way they portrayed Apollo Creed. He was a class act and a terrific boxer. He spoke eloquently. His character was almost as important as Rocky. Remember he helped him get his swagger back against Lang in 3. Rocky and Apollo made a great team. It's a shame he couldn't be in the final Rocky. Still one of the all-time best characters in movies!

  • You fight great, but I'm a great fighter!

  • i love how rocky wears apollo's trunks

  • Apollo Creed is a combonation of:

    Muhammad Ali: Fighting Style. Undisputed Champion. Name. However not Racist like Ali.

    Joe Louis: Sophisicated and classy. You always see him dressed nicely and talks properly.

  • He also has a touch of Sugar Ray Leonard in him as well

  • i would have included the big mural or him and rocky going at it

  • for me i like rocky and apollo they make a great team

  • Apollo is the best! not only a great boxer but intelligent too

    "stay in school and use your brain. Be a doctor, be a lawyer, carry a leather briefcase. Forget about sports as a profession"

  • Apollo is just the coolest, the best character in the Rocky series. Technically the best boxer of all as well. The way he trained Rocky in R3 was just awesome.

    PeterThePrinceFTW, Thanks for this great post, Apollo is one of my all-time favourite characters.

  • the best athlet ever

  • apollo wud hav beaten lang and drago!!

  • A bit like larry holmes intimidator!!

  • OMG i laughed at first but it ended up being a great video!

    apollo has great technique for an actor!

  • The music really overpowers the audio from the film. If anything have some music from the movie playing more softly in the background.

  • There is no doubt, a prime apollo creed wud hav beaten drago

  • @reno573 and he would've mauled clubber lang too

  • ur damn rite. clubber lang wud not hav landed a clean punch on apollo. clubber was 1 dimensional and remember apollo knew how 2 beat lang even be4 lang was given a title shot (he helped rocky devise a game plan).

  • The dancing destroyer

    The king of sting

    The Count of Monte Cristo

    The master of disaster

    The one, The only, Apollo Creed

  • what does "the count of monte cristo" mean?

  • It was a typo its

    "The Count of Monte Fisto".

    And its a play with words "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a famous book by Alexandre Dumas

  • kk, nice1

  • It's "Count of Manifesto"

  • rrrrrrrrrrrrrr rite

  • @falmark187

    is the count of mount fist

  • @falmark187 Yo, think you got enough nicknames?

  • @falmark187 count of monte fisto...

  • @falmark187 no its the count of monte fisto

  • @falmark187 it's The Count of Monte Fisto. C'mon mane.

  • @falmark187 I'm pretty sure it's the Count of Monte "Fisto"

  • @falmark187 I believe it's the count of Monte Fisto. Not Cristo.

  • @falmark187 The Count of Monte Fisto 

  • @falmark187 "you think you got enough names?" lol

  • @falmark187 - I think it was: "The Count of Monte Fisto" :-) That was a great intro to Creed in the second fight. He was uber serious and wanted to prove himself a champion to the world. Awesome moment. Then he says to Rocky wit real earnest: "You're Going Down!" Awesome!

  • Carl Weathers now appears on the Fox Comedy,Brothers,he still looks good to this day,I wish that Apollo had lived!!

  • I heard Carl Weathers say on a radio interview that he was very dissapoionted with the fact his charachter was killed off by Sylvester Stallone. I came away with the fact that he did not waqnt Apollo killed off at all. I could even hear the extreme dissapointment in his voice with Sylvester-for real.

  • what a great athlete Carl Weather's is..Long live Apollo Creed!

  • Damn Apollo was the TRUTH!!!

  • Well Rocky take revenge for apollos dead....its too bad that he dont swat ivan drago!!apollo would thankx him^^....by the way dragos wife was a bit hotter than apollos!!!

  • Apollo Creed the best boxer in the Rocky movies by a mile, what a joke him losing to Drago in Rocky 4.

  • I agree. Carl Weathers reportedly wanted out of the series so he took the fall, but I think it was ridiculous.

  • not only loosing but dying jejje

  • Apollo Creed is a True American Fighter and The ONLY ONE FIT TO BE ROCKY`S RIVAL:)This Was well done n i loved the song and clips and it made a S+Rank Vid:)Thx u for this Tribute to Apollo Creed:)

  • @kyomhis apollo was amazing he was the best boxer but yet everyone beet him would be nice to meet carl weathers

  • There were several roles that was played by Apollo Creed. He went from clown to vengeful opponent to trainer and friend to patroit. That is the short way for Apollo Creed.

  • lol... I loved this tribute video. It was really done well. Kudos.

  • KLITSCO VS ANYONE

  • MORGAN FREEMAN WAS ALMOST APOLLO

  • would've been funny as shit,

  • I can't see Freeman fighting Drago ! They made the right choice.

  • ANDY DOOFRAYNE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTR

  • CARL WEATHERS PLAYED THIS PERFECT

  • I enjoyed the video. Apollo Creed did things his way to the end. It was progress of taking Rocky lightly to taking the second fight seriously to being Rocky's trainer and friend and then a patroit. He did not listen to advice but had a mind of his own. It was good and bad. Apollo Creed was one of my favorite characters not only in the Rocky series but of all time. I liked Apollo more than Rocky no offense. Apollo progressed in the four Rocky series.

  • Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. Why would it offend me if you like Apollo more than Rocky? They're both great characters. And you're right - Apollo's biggest fault was doing it his way to the end. It lead to his demise. I thought the song fit well for that reason.

  • I can look at fourteen situations where Apollo did things his way. First, he was set on fighting Rocky. Duke said not to fight Rocky because he was a southpaw. He did anyway. Second, Duke saw how Rocky was punching the meat and told Apollo to look at the opponent he was about to fight and Apollo ignored him and did not take Rocky seriously. Third, Duke wanted to stop the fight and Apollo said no even when his ribs were injured and was bleeding inside. Apollo did not listen. More later

  • Fourth, after receiving tons of hate mail, Apollo was so angry that he was determined to have a rematch with Rocky.  Duke suggested Apollo to let it go because Rocky kept coming after him in spite of the beating that Apollo gave Rocky Apollo chose not to listen. Fifth, Apollo used a humiliation tactic to bring Rocky back to the ring with him. Sixth, Apollo trained hard out of anger that he even knocked down two sparring partners. Seventh, Duke suggested Apollo not to go for the knockout More.

  • Apollo did not listen to that advice either and Rocky knocked him out by one second. Eighth, Apollo became humble, gave Rocky the belt and said, "Good Luck." Ninth, Apollo wished Rocky good luck in Rocky's first fight with Clubber after Clubber taunted Apollo. Tenth, Apollo came to Mickey's gym where Rocky was and offered to train him. Eleventh, Apollo was willing to train with Rocky. Twelfth, Apollo watched film with Duke determining the pace to set Rocky for seven to eight rounds.

  • Twelfth, Apollo was willing to work with Rocky again thanks to Adrian even though Rocky drained his energy which Apollo did not have to do. Thirteenth, Apollo and Rocky became friends. Fourteenth and the funniest, Apollo who decided this before he trained him chose to spar with Rocky in Mickey's gym at the end of the movie. The last choice Apollo did was the decision to fight Drago which was fatal and caused his death. Those are the progresses of Apollo's decisions of doing it his way.

  • @PeteThePrinceFTW i liked the video apollo whas my faforite in all movies

    cuzz he proved hes a great fighter in rock 2 hes has faster puches than rocky thats whas a great fight when clubber beats rocky apollo traint rocky in speed and defence so he can defends against that punches of clubber and when rocky says we will do de trainig tommorow appolo says there is now tommorow thats a good motivatie of rocky balboa thats make apollo a great fighter and the best trainer R.I.P APOLLO creed

  • a champion who needs no introduction anywhere in the civilized world.

  • apollo creed is nice. he took a flat footed brawler and turned him into a boxer. a damn good one at that

  • Nice video!

  • Still gotta give it up for Apollo Creed aka Carl Weathers.

  • Apollo Creed is God..Rocky 3 best movie ever Clubber Lang amazing..Lets have Clubber kick stedded up freak Dragos ass how fab......

  • Apollo was such a great character.

    I hated the way he died though.

  • Which movie did Apollo die in?

  • rocky IV

  • this is sick, but the rocky one was the best though

  • Thanks man. Which Rocky video are you referring to by the way?

  • the epoch one

    real sick

  • Yeah, this video is a bit older and I took my skills and dedication/vision to a completely whole another level. I really have these videos to show people how far I'm progressing. Glad you enjoyed both though.

  • thanks alot great tribute to a legend

  • i am obsessed..so good to not be alone..Apollo is God and Clubber Lang how amazing have just named my puppy Apollo!!!

  • I love it. About time someone dedicated a song to the master of disaster, the King of Sting, The count of Monte Fisto.

  • Thanks man. Yeah, I thought so too.

  • I liked how Apollo taught Rocky some style

  • Carl Weathers was a great actor, watching him move around in the ring and during training he actually looked like he was legitimate boxer and not an actor. He also had a great physique, probably the best out of all the Rocky characters, except maybe Sly in Rocky 4. Anyways great vid man.

  • Thanks man.

  • ive barely finished this, im not the biggest limp bizkit, but this is awesome. i loved apollo creeds dance/intro in the outfit kinda like uncle sam with the top hat, soooooo cool!

  • Hah, well thank you. Glad you liked it.

  • i was watching Rocky 4 last night, and i thought, Sly should of had Drago kill Clubber Lang in the ring, It would of been ALOT more devistating , viewers would of been like . OMFG!!! Hows Rocky going to beat this guy. the more i think about it, it makes more sence cos Apollo could of been his trainer again and Mr T would of exited the Rocky movies better, cos Sly didnt really tell us what happend to Clubber

  • Yea, every Rocky "villain" is forgotten about in the series... or at least not explained. Apollo isn't really seen as a bad guy, more as a guy that gave Rocky a chance. Not in the conventional sense like Clubber and Drago. Interesting idea, though.

  • That's actually pretty interesting...but Mr. T becoming a major star in his own right probably made Clubber being in a bit role really unrealistic. I also don't think Apollo had to die...he could've been brutally knocked out or even put in a coma. Killing him...and making just a passing mention of his "BEST FRIEND" in the last two movies is really weird. But Drago knocking Clubber out...that would've been something for the sake of the movie. Also explains why there was no third Balboa/Lang fight

  • Totally agree on the fact that having Apollo killed by an amateur just turned pro was way too exagerated. the coma thing would have been better and fairer for Creed. But I don't think the idea of Drago vs Lang would have brought much interest emotionally -although a good fight. Stallone wanted to make us hate Drago (...). & Rock fighting Drago had a sense of vengence.

  • They could of kept him in it , i dono to me they just killed him had a funeral and that was it i think they could of done so much more with teh character

  • as a African American male being a kid this guy was inspirational

  • RIP

  • he had one of the best bodys in the movie scene ever....

  • apollo creed is da mannn

  • I like it! Apollo is such a Creed.

  • au usa on ne fai ke montrer du muscle

  • apollo rules

  • i like this one homie
